BCN3D-Spool-Cartridge

 

The BCN3D Spool Cartridge is a plastic cartridge designed to store and place the filament spools (normally 750gr.) Inside the BCN3D Smart Cabinet.

The use of this cartridge in the dehumidifying chamber of the Smart Cabinet is highly recommended, since:

  • Improve user experience when storing and changing materials.
  • It simplifies the loading and unloading operations of the filament.
  • Ensures correct coil rotation during printing.
  • Maintains filament slack after unloading operation, preventing material from tangling.
