Print In Place Adjustable Filament Sample Spool

thingiverse

This is an instant print-in-place spool for sample filaments. No assembly required, simply remove from build plate, snap off built-in supports and you're ready to go. How to use: Adjust the arms inward until you can fit the sample roll onto the spool. If needed, press the thumb tab on the spring mechanism while moving the arms. Fit the sample roll onto the spool and move the arms outward until the sample sits firmly in the spool. Secure the end in one of the holes. IMPORTANT: Don't print the "without built-in supports"-version unless you know why. More info below. EDIT: Added LARGE and HUGE versions upon request. The LARGE can take twice the filament of the standard, the HUGE four times the standard. I have not printed nor tested these, so I don't know if they work. If you print these bigger versions, please report back and tell me how it turned out! Note that even the HUGE version isn't designed to be compatible with the MasterSpool system, but for filament samples up to a few hundred grams. ## Please post a Make if you make this! ##
