<h5>Please see Print Settings for optimal print settings</h5> <hr> <p>I would greatly appreciate some feedback and I'm open to suggestions.</p> <p>Original Masterspool by RichRap: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2769823">thing</a></p> <p>Das Filament made a great remix called Little MasterSpool: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2791930">thing</a></p> <p>I then made a remix of the Little MasterSpool called Little MasterSpool Roller where I added rings for the roller type spool holder: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2793238">thing</a></p> <hr> <p><h4>Filaments used for featured prints:</h4></p> <ul> <li>Prusa Orange PETG + Prusa Silver PLA + Spool of Das Filament Tom's 3D Infinity Blue</li> <li>Prusa Orange PETG + Prusa Silver PLA</li> <li>Das Filament Tom's 3D Infinity Blue + Cheap Generic White PLA</li> <li>Real filament Translucent Red</li> <li>Das Filament Tom's 3D Infinity Blue</li> </ul> <hr> <p>Having received some feedback and remixes of my Roller version, I wanted to have a go at making something from scratch. So I kept all that in mind and included some features I wanted to add.</p> <p><h3>My Goals:</h3></p> <ul> <li>Use MasterSpool, Das Filaments Little MasterSpool principals and ideas.</li> <li>Lightweight and minimal filament used to print it.</li> <li>Close to the average spool sizes.</li> <li>Reasonable print time.</li> <li>Simplify options for labels.</li> <li>Can be used with more spool holder solutions.</li> <li>I want it to be somewhat modular so that things can be made for it, such as different label shapes for example.</li> <li>I found that the Little MasterSpool liked to open when filament was on it, so I wanted to address that.</li> </ul> <p><h3>What I think I managed to achieve:</h3></p> <ul> <li>I kept the tri-fork concept that Das Filament used.</li> <li>I integrated the droplet symbol from the MasterSpool.</li> <li>Having multiple parts that are also small means you can use small bits of filament such as the end of a spool or even use samples to make up the spool.</li> <li>The sticker panel and bushing are modular extras to print.</li> <li>The bushing is slightly elevated at the center, so as to act as a washer when up against a flat surface, like there is on my A8 spool holder.</li> <li>The small label panel can fit in one of 3 locations on each side of the spool.</li> <li>A combination of the design and print settings result in a strong overall print.</li> <li>It's quite light at around 55g total for the assembled part 1 and 2.</li> <li>The parts locking mechanism is reversed so that the presence of filament promotes the spool to stay closed.</li> <li>The parts locking mechanism actually lock if the tolerances were tighter.</li> <li>200mm and 170mm versions. There was a request for a smaller than 200mm. Even though a full refill won't fit, I included it anyway as it might be useful for smaller refills or winding other filament/samples up.</li> </ul> <p><h3>~Weight (Depends on print settings)</h3></p> <ul> <li><pre>200mm Part 1 25.0g</pre></li> <li><pre>200mm Part 2 30.0g</pre></li> <li><pre>200mm Sticker 4.0g</pre></li> <li><pre>9mm Bushing 4.5g</pre></li> <li><pre>170mm Part 1 22.0g</pre></li> <li><pre>170mm Part 2 27.0g</pre></li> <li><pre>170mm Sticker 2.5g</pre></li> </ul>
