Badge It Refill Compatible 30mm 3cm Badge Components (Pack of 100)

These refills work perfectly well with our badge it machine, even though they are not by Bandai. The back/pin part is not quite the same, but is completely suitable for most uses, though maybe a little less tiny person friendly as the point of the pin is exposed. Use your common sense and supervise younger kids if you need to.

I can confirm these are compatible with the Bandai® Badge It! They saved me when the original Bandai refills were sold out again (often sold out worldwide for months...).Pros:-Slightly cheaper-Classic pin, unlike Bandai's kiddie look-Attaches to cloth tighterCons:-Much more manual work: Pins need to be inserted manually into the backs, pins+pin designs need to be lined up in the badge maker to avoid weird pin placement (the Bandai pin can still be rotated after placement)-Higher chance of production failures-Less smooth finish: The Mylar (plastic sheet) doesn't wrap tightly around the edges, which is quite visible in dark designsI would recommend this refill alternative to those who make badges/pins as a hobby or gift.Because of the extra work, the high chance of broken badges and less professional look they're less suited for selling in a shop. The slight difference in price isn't worth it. They're OK for selling at a much lower price at conventions but the profit margin will be much smaller (you simply can't ask too much for these). I'll order these again though when Bandai's ones are sold out again. They're really acceptable. Just know what you're getting!

didnt work with my badge it machine

Shame that these now seem to be out of stock. Any more expected in at any time?

I tried about 6 of these in my Bandai Badge it machine and it would take the first stage (wrapping the design and clear cover over the plate) but it would never attach it to the base plate. I tried it both ways up in case I was doing something wrong.In the end, the only way I have managed to get it to work is by putting a 2p coin under the back plate in the machine to raise it up a bit as I think it was sitting too low in the machine as the original has a flat back that sticks out a bit, but these cave in at the back and I think therefore it wasn't pushing it high enough into the machine when it was trying to attach them together.I'm therefore surprised that they can say its "compatible" and works like the original if I have to make changes to the machine to use them (it had been working fine until I ran out of original pieces, so its not a fault with my machine).

The best refill I can get, I wish they was more available.

So the epilator itself works great (insofar as I can tell as I havent dared move beyond my forearms and kneecaps lol) but I'm docking a star for the fact that all the attachments were in separate plastic baggies except for the razor, aka the one attachment that could actually hurt me? As it turned out I got a tiny cut on my ring finger as I reached into the cute shower bag, but if I'd dived in with any of my usual enthusiasm it might have affected my job,

These badge components work great in a bandai badge it :)Very happy with my purchase and have made loads of badges already !
