Meisterspool: A multi-part masterspool

prusaprinters

<h3>Ever wanted to print a masterspool, but your build plate is too small?</h3><p>Let me introduce you to the <i>Meisterspool </i>- a full-size masterspool design that is assembled from six parts, which makes it printable on the Prusa Mini's 18x18 build plate! And as a bonus requires much less filament to be printed compared to the original design.</p><p>The <i>Meisterspool</i> also features additional holes for filament ends, that allow you to wind up to four filament samples onto it at the same time.</p><p>And as a final piece of convenience I also made a little clip that will keep the loose filament end in place, when it's not inserted into the printer.</p><h4>Printing</h4><p>Like the orginal masterspool, the <i>Meisterspool</i> is made of two halves, that let you simply slide a refill filament spool onto it and then screw the two halves together.</p><p>But each of the halves consists of an individual basis and two ‘side parts’, which makes three parts per half.</p><p>This means: to build a <i>Meisterspool </i>you need to print the two basis parts and four identitical ‘side parts’. The side parts just snap into their basis like puzzle pieces and need neither screws nor glue.</p><p>The side parts and top basis print just fine without support, the bottom basis needs a little support. I've added 3mf files for your convenience that you can directly use for printing or just to see, where to add some support.</p>
