Parametric customizer used spool refill filament adapter

HUMAN: UPDATED !!! 10-04-19 !! OPENS CAD FILE MISTAKE IN FILAMENT WHOLE CORRECTED !! REFILL FILAMENT USED ON AN OLD SPOOL. DON'T GET ME WRONG, THE MASTER SPOOL FROM RICH RAP IS OKAY, BUT MY PROBLEM IS IT TAKES AGES TO PRINT. THIS TAKES ABOUT 3 HOURS TO PRINT AND 5 MINUTES ASSEMBLY, AND IT USES FAR LESS PLASTIC. USE 0.4 LAYER HEIGHT IF YOU CAN, AND IT WILL PRINT FINE AND FAST. PLEASE TELL ME HOW IT WORKED FOR YOU !! AS I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT USING IT. REQUIREMENT: OLD SPOOL, DRILL BIT 5MM, AND 3 TIE WRAPS ( CABLE TIES). THE PARAMETRIC VERSION IS AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN USE IT ON ANY SPOOL. THE OUTER DIAMETER IS 104.9 THAT IS SUPER TIGHT ON A MASTER SPOOL BUT I HAD NO PROBLEM FITTING IT ON THE ADAPTER. THE INNER CIRCLE OF THE ADAPTER IS 78MM. THIS IS FOR MY SPECIFIC OLD SPOOL, BUT YOU CAN EASILY CHANGE THIS IN THE CUSTOMIZER .. THE HEIGHT OF THE ADAPTOR IS 45MM. ASSEMBLY : CUT THE OLD SPOOL IN HALF , SAND THE CUTTED SIDES AFTERWARDS AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM RIM TO END CUT IF IT IS MORE THEN 22MM YOU NEED TO CUT A PIECE OF. THE ADAPTOR IS 45MM SO IF ITS TOO LONG THE ADAPTER IS TOO SHORT. ( CAN BE ALTERED IN CUSTOMIZER OPENS CAD FILE). PUSH THE ADAPTER ON ONE HALF SPOOL AND USE THE WHOLE AS TEMPLATE TO DRILL 5MM WHOLE THROUGH THE HALF SPOOL. PLACE THE REFILL WITH THE CABLE TIE KNOTS ON TOP AND PLACE THE SECOND HALF ON TOP, USE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPOOL TO DRILL THE SECOND 6 WHOLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH. INSERT 3 TIE CABLES INTO EACH FIRST WHOLE AND TIE THEM FROM THE OTHER WHOLE. CUT THE ENDS OFF AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST RELEASE( CUT ) THE MASTER SPOOL TIE CABLES. PLEASE IF YOU LIKE THE MODEL AND PLANNED TO MAKE IT PLEASE POST A MAKE HTTPS://WWW.THINGIVERSE.COM/THING:35124438/MAKE I WOULD APPRECIATE A NICE CUP OF COFFEE DURING MODELING AND IT HELPS ME A LOT BY SUPPORTING ME. HTTPS://WWW.PAYPAL.ME/VANVOORN OPENS CAD FILE IS AVAILABLE SO ANY SPOOL CAN BE ACCOMMODATED...
