Filament Sample Spool (honeycomb)

thingiverse

This project is also available on PrusaPrinters.org. This spool is designed for 50-100g and 150-200g 1.75mm filament samples, including those included in MakerBox subscriptions. It fits original zipper bags perfectly. I have created two separate parts for different weight ranges: one for smaller samples (50-100g) and another for larger ones (150-200g). Both parts should be printed with the same settings and assembled tightly. The design is inspired by Prusament filament spools but redesigned from scratch to fit a much smaller size. There are included holes for one end of the filament (2mm) to help with initial wrap, allowing the end to slip out when the filament runs low during print. You can use any honeycomb hole on the sides to hold loose ends of filaments not in use. Please note that this design is complicated and may take 4-6 hours to print each part. Feel free to leave feedback or a small tip if you're feeling generous. For 50-100g use: Bottom_A, Top For 150-200g use: Bottom_B, Top ---
