eSun spool adaptor for Refilament refills

thingiverse

Clamp to allow an eSun standard spool to be reusable with eSun Re-filament refills. - Updated to require only 2 bolts. This is an alternative to the Espool, and saves you from throwing away a perfectly good eSun spool that you already have. The adaptor holds the side of the spool securely, and it is durable because it uses bolts, rather than a press-fit or clips that could snap off. The main circular section of this adaptor is 84mm diameter. Most of my eSun spools are 84mm diameter or bigger where the ring of this adaptor sits in them, but I have had one that was only 82mm. May require downscaling for some spools. Requires two M5 bolts (15mm or longer) to secure it onto your eSun spool. Check which side of the spool the adaptor fits best in, and cut off that side plate of your spool with a hacksaw. Mount the adaptor and use a sharp point to mark where the holes should be drilled. Use a 5mm bit to drill two holes through the spool. Printed with 3 walls, and 2 top/bottom layers. 0.2mm layer 10% fill (rectilinear fill so that the top layer has a regular pattern to sit on) PLA or PETG Only requires 14g of filament with updated 2 bolt version. Post a make if you print one. Enjoy reusing rather than throwing away your old 300g eSun spool.
