Customizable Lightweight Masterspool (Master Spool)

Customizable Lightweight Masterspool (Master Spool)I needed a spool-core that can be used with spool-sidewalls salvaged from a finished filament spool. I found this great MasterSpool by CyperTech project when searching for something ready-to-print:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4816681Unfortunately, it was not fully fitting my requirements but I used it as an inspiration to write my OpenSCAD code that creates very similarly-looking, but customizable spool-core model. Hereby I am giving credit to the author of the original good concept.See "How to print a spool?" chapter for hints!This project can be used in three ways:just download, slice and 3D print pre-generated STL files (ready-to-print models),generate your own models using provided OpenSCAD file (customizable-masterspool-torwan.scad), you can easily customize the default model to your needs by changing values of the parameters listed at the beginning of the file.(not recommended by me) generate your own models using Customizer enabled here in this project by Thingiverse, change value of what_to_generate parameter to decide what part exactly you want to generate (this customizer unfortunatelly does not allow to modify "boolean" parameters):0 - Nut Slot Tester1 - Spool Core2 - Drilling Template3 - Sidewall4 - Sidewall Small Inner Ring5 - Core Filler6 - Presents a whole Spool
