A LIFESAVER. I actually didn't know that you had to buy a replace roll with the cartilage.

This is brilliant thank you. I'm desperately trying to keep my plastic waste down and this design is so stupid! If I'd known about this issue I wouldn't have bought the printer.

Thanks for the video. I have a Brother P-Touch QL-1050. The crafty buggers must have started gluing the end on. I used a small straight screwdriver after trying to muscle it over and over. It finally popped off, but I could see where it was either glued or fused on the end. Anyway, SUCCESS! Did I mention that you are awesome? It works great!

Many thanks. I bought a box with the carriages, however the next lot will be rolls :-) I found it easy to break the seal by placing the smaller side in a vice and working the cylinder free that way. Once you break the seal of glue, it falls out easy.

Excellent! Had trouble popping the end off - it had been glued as other commenters had mentioned. Used a small pair of needle-nose pliers to get a good grip and leverage on the end piece and it came right off with little effort.

LIFE SAVER!! worked on the very first try! I didn't realize you had to buy the whole thing! thanks!

Thanks man!!!! There's always someone in the world with the same problem. In my case the sliding piece was with pasted with glue at the end of the other cylinder, so we had to apply torque and almost break the piece, but from now on we know the technique :) Thanks again!

Thank you. Very helpful. I saw the guy with the screw driver video and I was going to do what he did until i said to myself, there must be an easier way, then I saw your video. Much better and easier. Getting the base off was a bit a struggle for me, couldn't get it off with my hands so I applied so WD40 to it and it snapped right off. Very cool. Thanks for the information. Thank Goodness there is KZfaq.

Much appreciation this video but clearly unbelievable with BROTHER for this happening. I still can't get it apart, why in the world would this even be happening to switch your label paper. I am beyond pissed right now, either gonna break it trying cause either way I have no way of using my label printer for my business due to not being able to get it apart. Other people's comments have helped to say it is glued. This BROTHER product is beyond ridiculous

SOO helpful! Mine had glue at the bottom of the spool as well. I used a small screwdriver with a hammer to make indentions all the way around the main spool which seemed to loosen up the glue. I was then able to pop off the end.

Not me at work panicking because I ran out of labels and need to replace it haha

You can also saw it in half with a knife and the paper roll holds it together whilst printing ;) I couldn't get mine off, so this was my solution.

Tried this today. My two spare plastic spindles are glued together tightly. However, my two spare rolls and the one currently in my printer are reusable and the plastic spindles popped apart with no problem. I went to Amazon to look at the DK-2205s (by Betckey) and found two options - one with 10 rolls and two reusable spindle units and the other with 10 rolls each having its own single-use spindle unit. I will be hanging onto my reusable spindle units and purchasing refills with the reusable spindles as well.

I was really confused about watching a couple of you cut the roll off or use water to get the roll off. I did not need to do this. I skipped that step, and just applied some pressure and took the end off with my hands, and then changed the roll once I noticed that's all you did to disassemble it once the roll was off. I'd suggest everyone skip the useless steps and just take the end off and change the roll. 💃 Good luck.

Thanks so much for making this video. I kept trying to pry at the wrong end when I bought a box of 2000 labels that were incompatible with my printer. It was past the return date, and I didn't want to throw them away. Then I tried to roll them onto the old spool and that took for ever and it still didn't work! The end of mine was also glued on (bought printer in 2021), but all it took was a precision screw driver wedged into the bottom and work your way around the cylinder you'll see it start to come up a bit. It took maybe 2 minutes!

Worked well for me, thank you! I used hot water by using my electric cattle though.

if you are looking for how to replace the roll, it starts at 3:25 and ends at 3:35...

Very Helpful. I would have never figured this out. Mine was glued together (I could see the glue points inside) and took a lot of muscle. After it was disassembled there was a small chip in the cylinder but it still went back together

Thank you for a straight forward vid on how to do this.

Thx for the helpful video. I had also trouble popping the end off. I put a small screw driver with the big end first into the hole and push strongly on a table with the front tip until the end popped off, also almost broke it but it still works to put it together....

I am not strong enough to separate it. I used wise loosely, put 1 inch open wrench on bottom portion . One light knock with hammer and cartridge work like charm. Thank you for showing me which part to hit.

Hey, thanks man, I knew there had to be a way to do this!

Worked for me! But I recommend oil. I soaked the end that separates in vegetable oil for a minute...then applied torque. Just make you wash thoroughly with warm soapy water!

the pressed end is also glued so you will need a lot of force but careful enough not to snap the plastic.

Super helpful, worked like a charm.

The piece to remove have glue, you can help you with a tiny screwdriver and leverage on the outside piece. After, take an exacto and remove the glue on the pieces.

Wearing dishing washing gloves after it has been oiled also helps to get a good grip when pulling this device apart.

This video was super helpful. Thank you a lot!!🥰🥰🥰

i oiled the pressed side, grabbed both ends with a rag and pulld them apart. i believe the lubrication helped it pull apart.

Thank you very much for learning me your carefull steps with this. Great help!

Where I was I had no water available, so I took a screwdriver and pryed between the empty roll and the end support and it came right out. Tad bit of force but it was fine. Probably saved a lot of time

No need to get it all wet and remove the old roll. The old roll actually makes it easier to pop the side off took me about 2 sec to pop it off it is attached so the first time is kinda difficult and you feel like it broke but it just press fit back in with the new labels

Thanks for the info! I had also wondered how to use the refill rolls. I ended up just prying it apart without soaking the cardboard; I just took the cardboard roll off once it was apart. :-)

Pretty sure mine is super glued LOL I cannot get this thing apart for the life of me. That's unfortunate I have a whole box of rolls

Thanks for posting! Haven't run out of my sample yet! But will try when I run out!

Thank you for your video deep thinker.

2022 update: they now glue the removable parts together. Used the soak method, then took a good bit of force / slight twisting to separate. (others have used a screw driver with this success too)

Thanks this was super helpful. I agree with a comment below that it is hard to snap it off. I needed two hands and it was tough but I got it! Next time I am sure it will be easier. Great video, thanks again.

You are really the best! Thank you

THANK YOU

thanks so much,i will try,if succeed,u really save me!

Thanks so much for sharing this! 👌

When he said very quietly under his breath that it isn't as easy to pry off because he had already previously done it, that is a massive understatement I have been pulling with all of my might sort of not breaking it and it will not come off. Wish there was more details of what it was like the first time to get it off. Appreciate the video though but that small little nugget of info that was said very quietly and fast LOL falls into the category of the small print where the devil resides LOL. Brother should be ashamed for purposely designing something so difficult to take apart. I'm not an engineer but I can look at this design and see many different ways to make this so that it isn't difficult. They most likely want you to buy the whole replacement part every time.

thanks, we just tried and it worked

Worked perfect, thanks!

Thanks !! It was great help !!

great tutorial, thanks!

Thank you so much😍😍😍

Thanks man 👍🏼

I like your content :)

Thank You

Really nice

Only whispering is quieter than this volume in the video. 🤔

I had the same model, same exact as the video, yet it didn't work at all.

I can’t seem to pry the piece off, any recommendations?

You could pushed on the cardboard roll on the side to open the slot and than slide the roll off. 😂

If it is glued together WD40 will do the trick

OMG!! THANKS MAN.

I did this and it worked, but now my printer is printing blanks and has a red flashing light...

Cheers mate, saves you some dolla!

Great idea but wish it went as easy, could not prise mine apart for love or the money 🙄 but thanks anyway

You don't need to put in water, just use little more muscle. :)

Vielen Dank

Works well but you dont need to do any dipping it in water first or trying to remove the cardboard tube. If you think about it, the side pulls right off after hes messed about removing the tube, so why bother, just pull that side off first, and slip the tube off. Worked for me.

Can you load this printer with non-label thermal paper, for point-of-sale use? Realizing it might require the registration marks on the edge. Thanks!

They must be making them different now because there’s no way you can snap that off with one hand much less two hands. The struggle is real.

Hi What do you use this label printer for if you don't mind me asking? I'm not sure if it's the best thing to print shipping labels with. I've already bought one just thinking what other things I can use it for

The labels now come with plastic rolls that cannot be removed. ARRGH!

I've only used one roll on my brother q800 and I'm having a hell of a time getting the new roll through the feed, any ideas?? appreciate it

6min Video and in the end the roll is not installed... Seems it helped a lot of people, but i just wasted my time, let's see if there is another video which actually shows how to install the label roll.

thank u so much

Thank you!

hi do you think I can use 57mm instead of 62mm please ?

will it work with the ql 800?

I love you

Thanks A lot

Awesome trick! Let me ask you a question; Can I use that printer to use on eBay from an iPhone? Thanks!

Thanks!!!

It would be helpful to see how the other side is installed

aceton helps better

Please, i have a 1 inch wide roll, any idea how i can get it to work on this machine?

I knew there had to be a trick, I spent 10.00 on a new cartridge but I have 2 printers. By the way get a tripod, it will make for better videos.

Giấy in loại này ở hà Nội có chỗ nào bán cho tôi xin địa chỉ, xin cảm ơn !

My roll its so hard to open My hands hurt so much :(

Here is a tutorial on using Brother p-Touch Editor free software to create label templates, in case it helps someone. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJp2f5qj3q7apo0.htmlsi=I6837gLRUlHxzE9a I have a QL700 and find the software frustrating to use on my PC. But it has great functionality, in theory, you can print labels in bulk from a CSV spreadsheet. Think mailing labels for Christmas Cards, or mail merge.

OMG use a phone holder/mini tripod. Why do people do youtube videos with one hand?

Do you ever get a error-13 after doing this?

I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great kzfaq.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.

I CAN´T GET IT OPEN :( IT´S THE FIRST TIME

hallo hallo anybodyt salig anything

Why don't you use your DIY skills to make a holder for your camera, freeing up your other hand for much better videos

what a useless printer

omg this is so long

you could have made this video 30 seconds long instead of me listening to you whine for 5 minutes

Stop talking brow... go to the point...

Mumble mumble waffle waffle. Sheesh.

this design is so SUPER stupid! BLACK PLASTICK STUCK

this ql-600 shit does not come off. Very bad

Speak more clearly, take the tape off and run it through the machine. Show how it works after installing the new roll.
