Customizable Sample Spool

myminifactory

This is designed for everyone who subscribes to one of the monthly sample filament deliveries, or if you buy a multi-pack sample like the one offered by Polyalchemy. These are designed to be easy to reuse and swap out the sample you're currently using. There are openings in the middle of the spool to hold onto the end of the sample so it doesn't unravel, and the slot openings on the side are designed to go both below and above the sample, making it easy to place the twist tie back onto the sample while it's still neatly in the spool. The custom part of the spool is the design of the sides - you get to pick how it looks! I made it specifically to take advantage of the modifiers in PrusaSlicer. First, load the part you want (big or small), then load the provided modifier STL file, or just load the EMF file that's provided. Next, make the top and bottom layers of the main part 0 to expose the infill design.
