Remnant Consolidator with Prusament spools

prusaprinters

<p>Got a stack of filament spool remnants?<br/> Use this to consolidate them into 1/3 the space!<br/> Each roll spins independently.<br/> Identification clips are included to mark what kind of material is on each roll.<br/> Adjustable stand will support 3 to 6 remnant rolls.<br/> Requires Prusament spools.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Everything is print oriented just load into the slicer and go.</p> <p><strong>Material-</strong></p> <p>PLA works well for the gear bearings, nuts and screw but PETG should work too.<br/> PETG for the ID clips because they req some flex to get on and remove.<br/> PLA or PETG for the stand.</p> <p><strong>Part 1 Gear Bearing-</strong></p> <p>0.2 Layer Height<br/> Default infill</p> <p>Print a minimum of 3. Up to 6 will fit on a stand.<br/> I started the print then cranked up the speed to 150% and they came out great.</p> <p><strong>Part 2 Retaining Nut-</strong></p> <p>0.3 Layer Height<br/> Default infill</p> <p>Print the same amount as the Gear Bearings.<br/> Same with the bearing I ran the machine at 150% speed.</p> <p><strong>Part 3 End Screw-</strong></p> <p>0.2 or 0.3 Layer Height<br/> Default infill</p> <p>Only 1 required.<br/> Will most likely need a brim.</p> <p><strong>Part 4 Stand-</strong></p> <p>0.3 Layer Height<br/> Default infill</p> <p>Print 2 of these.<br/> They will slide into each other and the spools sit on it.<br/> The 0.3 layer height gives the sliders a semi-locking feature making it a little hard to adjust but they won't work themselves apart.</p> <p><strong>Part 5 ID clips-</strong></p> <p>0.2 Layer Height<br/> Default infill<br/> Put a color change in your slicer at the 3rd layer or 0.6 layer height to get a nice contrast for the words</p> <p>Print what you need or a stack of each.<br/> There is one for PLA, PETG and TPU.</p> <p><strong>Construction Instructions-</strong></p> <ol> <li>Pull apart Prusament spools</li> <li>Place a Gear Bearing into the center hole. There is a tab that will fit into the center holes' slot.</li> <li>Screw a Retaining Nut onto the inside. They can be tightened down pretty tight. I have yet to break one.</li> <li>Do step 1-4 with the other spool sides.</li> <li>Put the End Screw into one of the center gears.</li> <li>While holding End Screw, connect the other spool sides.</li> <li>Place on Stand.</li> <li>Fill with remnants.</li> <li>Put ID clips on each spool side because memory is a fickle thing ;)<br/> ID clips will snap into the hex holes in 1 of 6 places along the edge, where the filled holes are, where the filament retainers are and in between the 2. See the picture for reference.</li> </ol> <p>Alternatively you can place the remnants on the spool before you screw on the Retaining Nut.</p> <p>Hope this is useful for you!</p>
