Filament Respool Tooling

prusaprinters

<p>I found some old filament in a box, but the spools didn't fit on my enclosure's spool carrier. I'm trying to figure out how to do stuff in Blender and thought this would be a fairly easy project.</p><h3>Respooler Files</h3><ul><li>filamentRespoolerBit - This slides into the bolt's head and can be gripped in a drill's chuck. I used some super glue so I won't lose it, but it isn't necessary.</li><li>filamentRespoolerHub</li><li>filamentRespoolerHubKeyed - There is a small key that is made to slip into a Prusament spool and help hold it in place. I don't think it was necessary. You're probably better off printing two hubs instead of a regular hub and a keyed hub</li><li>filamentRespoolerAxle - A big bolt </li></ul><h3>Test Files</h3><ul><li>filamentRespoolerHubTest</li><li>filamentRespoolerAxleTest</li></ul><p>You can print these out separately from everything else to ensure that the axle will screw into the hub. If it doesn't, you can adjust the X and Y (NOT Z) scaling of the axle until it does screw in properly. Once you're satisfied, you can apply those settings to the full size Axle and the Bit.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p> </p><p><strong>Printer: </strong></p><p>I3 MK3S</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p> </p><p>No</p><p> </p><p><strong>Supports: </strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p> </p><p>200</p><p> </p><p><strong>Infill: </strong></p><p>15</p><p><br/><strong>Filament:</strong><br/><br/>Generic PLA Silver</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: 3D Printing</p>
