I ordered in an Orange PLA refill from INLAND on Amazon and noticed that the core will slide right over the Bambu Core so the RFID tag will still work and register the color and PLA. The issue is that there is a 2mm gap between the two cores so I designed and 3d Printed a 2mm spacer that slides in between them so it’s a nice fit. I also created and 3d printed a spacer that fills the open area on the Bambu spool when you close it up. With the spacer installed you can then remove the binding straps holding the Inland refill and it will stay nicely bunched up on the spool like it should be.
I may be the only one doing this but if you’re tired of waiting for Bambu to get filament refills in the store the files are here: Inland refill for Bambu RFDI Core/spool by mattcaz - Thingiverse. They are © 2023 MattCaswell and are freely given for non commercial use and are not to be sold.
What is the experience with the AMS behavior when reusing the rfid? Each tag has a unique identification used to track filament use and report estimated remaining capacity. I imagine your Inland spool shows empty by the AMS, but is it still printing without any warnings after it has calculated say 1.5kg of what would have been a 1kg spool? Also, Bambu filament has higher values for its flow rate than generic - are you printing the Inland using the Bambu filament profile or manually overriding the profile?
Just my two cents worth since I almost exclusively use Inland filament from Micro Center. I noticed a bit of an improvement after calibrating the filament via Orca.
I don’t rely on the RFID spool amount tracking. I just use the RFID to automatically set the parameters and it’s always worked well for me. I’ve used the bambu settings and have had great results with the prints using Inland. of course, your results may vary.
i stick used bambu matte tags on my overture matte pla. works perfectly.
