Spool Bushing

A revised version of this spool bushing can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:753630, offering customization options through the customizer where any parameter can be adjusted to fit specific spool or rod needs. The original description states that this part is a spacer designed for use with the item on thingiverse.com/thing:705345; two prints should be made and one placed in either side of the spool, serving as a bushing while providing extra clearance between the spool and printer, also preventing the spool from cocking to one side or another. This ultimately eases extruder usage and meets the standards of those who experience OCD. To use this product follow these instructions: Enter your specific spool information. Two prints are needed; insert each print into its designated location within the spool, then place it back on the rod. The parameters listed are: Spool Size: The internal diameter of the spool Tab Thickness: Specifies how thick the tabs that secure into the spool should be Backplate Rim: Determines the rim size for the backplate.
