Label Stand With Swappable Labels

Label Stand With Swappable Labels

Description

This is a simple ‘L’ shaped stand which you can place on top of your AMS unit, in front of it, or can just be used to label practically anything really.

The example images above, show them being used to describe the filament loaded into each slot of my Bambu Lab AMS unit, but these can be used to label anything, simply change the text on each of the labels to suit, then print as many as you need, along with however many stands you need.  

The examples, show at a glance, which brand, filament type, colour, or whatever else you want to show, is loaded into each of the AMS unit slots, but can be used to label items on shelf too.

Labels

Customised labels can be generated directly in Bambu Studio, with whatever text or image you would like, just right click on a plate, select ‘Add Primitive’, then select ‘Cube’, set the dimensions of the cube to be:-

• X: 50mm (wide)
• Y: 30mm (tall)
• Z: 1mm (thick)

Click on the newly created cube and select the Text tool from the toolbox, at the top of your screen from the toolbox, select your font, text size, enter a thickness of 1mm (to match my labels), then enter the text you want shown ie Bambu Lab, then just hover over the cube on screen to see the preview of the text with the properties entered, find a suitable position for the text, or adjust the font / size to get it to fit better, then click when you're happy with the placement to place it on top of the cube. Repeat for any other text you shown.

Font Sizes

For information, the font and sizes I used are:-

• Text: SunLu
• Font: Arial

Size: 6

• Text: ABS
• Font: Arial
• Size: 12

As the labels are only 2mm thick including the text, they print pretty fast, I used the colour switching of the AMS to set the colour of the text to white and the label itself (the cube mentioned above) to be black, but you could just add a filament / colour change at the required height if you don't have a Bambu Lab AMS unit.

Filament Usage

For info:-

• 4 x Stands use around 52g of filament
• 6 x Labels use around 13g of filament

Update (6-Aug-24): Changed title and description to be more generic as this can be used to label practically anything, not just an AMS unit.

Update (16-Jul-24): Check out my storage box to hold the spare labels when not in use, which can be found here:-
