1Kg Filament in Dremel 3D45 Solution #2

This is a detailed guide on how to use the Spool Holder system to wind filament onto a printed spool. The system consists of two Spool Holders and a drill adapter, which can be attached to an electric drill or used with a hand crank. To begin, attach the drill adapter to the printed spool and fit it to an electric drill. Set the drill to its slowest speed and secure the end of the filament to the printed spool. Wind the filament onto the printed spool using the drill, guiding it with your hand or using the Spool Holder system. The Spool Holder system consists of two Holders that are joined together in series. The filament needs to feed from the bottom of the third-party spool onto the bottom of the printed spool to keep downward pressure on the assembly and reduce the possibility of the spools jumping out of the holders. To use the Spool Holder system, place the Guide Lever and Pivot in the base of one of the Spool Holders and put the spool of filament on the same holder using the axel and a well-fitting spindle. Have the filament coming off the bottom of the spool towards the second spool holder. Attach an empty printed spool to an electric drill with the Drill Adapter, set the drill to its slowest speed, and place the assembly onto the second Spool Holder. Thread the end of the filament through the guide and secure it to the empty printed spool. Wind the spool slowly and carefully with the drill using the Guide Lever to control the speed of the filament spool and guide it onto the printed spool. Do not wind it too tightly near the flanges, as these may bend or even break off. Move the Guide slowly from side to side in order to keep successive windings close to each other and compact. Alternatively, you can use a hand crank instead of an electric drill. If operating by hand, it is probably safe to guide and tension the filament by hand, so there's no need to print the two filament guide components. The Spool Holder system is designed for use with my Dremel 3D Printer Things, which include a Spool winder for Dremel spools, a manual spool winder, a Dremel compatible spool, and more.
