Cocooon Create Mini spindle extension

thingiverse

I'd found that the original spindle end was too large to fit smaller reels on, especially those from the resized Modular Sample Filament Spool designed by Haldiman. I've since created another spindle that will allow smaller reels to fit and included it as well. Replacement spindle for the Aldi Cocoon Create Mini (Wanhao Mini) 3D printer. The stock one on the Cocoon Create is ridiculously small for proprietary filaments, causing larger 1kg spools to jerk, flap, and on long prints, fall off the spindle entirely, marring your hard work. I got down to business and dug deeper. I resized the I3 spindle to be printable on a Cocoon Create mini, but replaced the nut with one that will actually fit in the nut case on the printer. This new design works straight off the bed and will take 1kg 3DFillies, Filaform, X3D filaments, and more without any slipping spools. Best printed vertically with thread end down. I didn't need a raft, but you'll want supports touching buildplate, and remember to use 100% infill so it doesn't snap! This design takes about 12 hours on this printer at 100% speed.
