The buffer's needed to prevent filament loosen on a spool. Loose filamanent will lead to a tangle eventually, so there's still a room for improvement...
The filament cannot tangle with itself without a loose end, it's impossible. With the walls preventing it from tangling with other things the worse it can happen is filament bending due to an oblique angle (which I can't tell if this would happen in this setup.
@fabio-franco that's absolutely an incorrect statement. Pretty obvious you've never been fishing, and been fishing with a baitcaster real. Your statement is 100% invalid. And maybe need to do your research. No open end on a baitcaster and everyone knows the term "bird nest" when you cast and an excess of line unwinds and causes a mess that you'll be fighting for a long time. With knots and everything. So yes absolutely this box can cause the same issue.
@@savedbygrace5436 I think you confusing fishing with knot theory. Go study a bit and come back when you have a more empirical argument to make. You may want to study unknotting theorem, which is a series o mathematical concepts around this subject.
Very impressive. This is just as functional as the AMS Bambu Labs offers but honestly it's a much more diy, maker friendly, inexpensive build. Love this content!!
@@FreshCityVentures He says in the video itself that he as a multi-material unit connected to it, so yes, with that, it does. It looks like an ERCF or something similar. Could also be the Prusa MMU.
@@Luka1180that logic makes absolutely NO sense. If you already have an MMU then please explain to me how placing your filament rolls into cereal containers will make your “multi-material unit” anymore like an AMS than it already is? Because it’s enclosed and has clear sides? 🤨
The outlet of the filament should better be under the spool center and not above. Sometimes, when the spool gets empty, it can cause problems when the outlet is above the center of the spool lifting it up. I had that several times especially with spools made of paper. Lowering the outlet to the ground completely solved that for me.
Preventing the spools from spilling over onto each other is nice.. But even with this, if you're shoving that much filament back into the box to make that a potential problem, you're STILL risking the filament loops binding up on themselves within the same spool.
Very impressive. but leave it to someone in the maker community to to make something for a job that could have easily been done by a thin sheet of cardboard lol ❤
I assume this is the SAMLA Box from IKEA, but what size did you choose? I personally could not yet find a suitable box, but this one looks perfect. Any help would be very appreciated. :)
I clicked on the link for the video in the description and it just tells me the video is not available could you fix this by chance? Thank you very much.
The video is available: ua-cam.com/video/ohHSY2zMV_o/v-deo.html UA-cam changed recently the shorts description rules, so they are not clickable anymore...
@Dombi3D no that wasn't it i copied the link and put it in my web browser myself and on UA-cam it says that the video is no longer available when I try to view the video it had nothing to do with being clickable. Anyways I don't know what else to say because its 100% not available to be viewed I've tried viewing it on 2 laptops and a desktop as well as 3 tablets and it says the same thing on UA-cam every time I paste the link into the web browser and try to view the video. Thanks anyways I guess I will just look elsewhere have a great day 🤷♂️👍✌️
I'm not sure is that is a drybox ? can't see any silica gel, moreover the tubes for filament are not sealed so the humidity can get inside. could you put a humidity sensor inside to prove that it's drier inside than outside ?
I use silica gel bags what inside, what you can see underneath the spools. Humidity sensors I have installed with my other boxes, and they work fine but with time need to swap batteries, so I keep an eye on the bag color pad now, and when it needs, I put it into the microwave to recharge, and you are good to go.
How did you fasten the ptfe connectors like that with two female ends? Are they two regular ptfe connectors back to back or are they special double sided connectors? And how did you mount them to the plastic? Thanks!
@@Dombi3D thanks! I searched for “two-sided PTFE connector” and could not find it but then I searched for “threaded pneumatic union bulkhead connector 4mm” I found the right thing on Amazon.
Why not just make a tiny little clip that goes on the bottom of the spool so it cant spin(think wheel chock) instead of wasting a mountain of filament on that wall….lol
The problem here is not stopping the spin. The Printer by every filament color change retracts around 30cm filament which needs to go somewhere and if you do not have the walls it will jam the spool.
Wow. Impressive! Although I don't have a 3D printer, I still enjoyed watching your solution to a pretty common problem.

Maybe it can have some sort of force tugging it backwards, pulling it straight back into the loop

@@tinkerman-q so tell me then, why is it not possible for it to tangle without a loose end? What would stop it from happening?

And the fact that it doesn’t turn your printer into a multi-color/multi-material printer. But other than that, EXACTLY the same as the Bambu AMS 😂

I have never had this issue, but sounds logical. Thanks for pointing it out!
Interesting, since all of the filament driers that I have seen in the market all have the output on the top.
That's how you get a tangle in your filament. Which will snap mid print.
In practice, it never happened to me yet.
@@Dombi3D But it will

Hello! Great idea! This is IKEA SAMLA 22L? Thank you.

What filament is this? I like the colors!
Wouldn’t cardboard do the same thing? Save filament and still solve the issue?
