Filament Spool

thingiverse

Initially, I came across a printable spool design on Thingiverse and decided to create my own version due to the lack of spools. My 1lb filament roll needed proper management, so I printed the spool. Initially, I planned to mount it on my workbench, but later, I just hung the spool, which worked fine without the central hub. Now, untangling the filament every few minutes is no longer a hassle for me. I am planning to use bearings in the hub and update the design accordingly. To assemble this spool, print all four files, glue them together (a rubber mallet may help for precise fit), and you're ready to roll your filament and start printing! However, I noticed that the dovetails on the end part of the arms were weak, so I plan to improve the attachment method.
