Mini Filament Spool

thingiverse

This is a compact spool designed to fit most spool holders, offering flexibility in customization to suit nearly any requirement. I've experimented with various designs using less material, but they often fell short due to issues such as getting caught on objects, being too weak, or failing to fit properly. I have an extensive collection of sample filaments that require a convenient way to load them into the printer, so when I take one out of its storage bag, I simply slide it onto the spool, snap the spool together, and it's ready for printing. This spool allows you to generate both sides simultaneously or select individual pieces according to your needs. The filament holes at the ends can be adjusted, as well as the overall size of the spool, hole, and pegs that secure the two parts together with a snap. If your filament exceeds 50g in weight, I recommend increasing the width slightly for optimal performance. I've also included STL files for the default settings, covering both sides printed together and separately.
