Monoprice Select Mini Filament Spool Spinner

thingiverse

This is a versatile extruder motor designed specifically for the Monoprice Select Mini printer. Two versions of this design can be printed, allowing users to choose their preferred approach. The first version prints the entire spool as one continuous piece, while the second option breaks it down into separate parts that can be easily glued together. Printing in parts offers a significant advantage: it enables users to print with filament colors of their choice without interrupting the printing process or switching filaments mid-print. For the all-in-one print option: I used this design by pausing the print at strategic layers and swapping out the filament from black to green, then back to black. To achieve this effect, I inserted an M600 g-code command into the g-code file at the correct layer intervals. Users can determine the optimal layer positions for their specific prints using their preferred slicer software.
