Filament Spool Adapter

thingiverse

I once designed a popular replacement shaft for the filament stand on the Monoprice Maker Select 3D printer, but it broke and dropped a full spool onto the print. Deciding that the original shaft was stronger and more dependable, I chose to make a part to fit on top of it to extend its length. It's easy to take off and on and works well. Let me know if you like and use it. UPDATE I created a thicker version so the tab on the original rod doesn't protrude out of the adapter slit. It might be preferable, but I kept the thinner one here too. I used support but may not have been totally necessary.
