Ultimaker 2 Spool

thingiverse

I've experimented with various designs of spools and reels, but they fell short in my opinion. So I decided to create one myself. It effectively prevents the filament from getting caught on any arms or spokes. Designed specifically to fit standard filament holders as supplied, it doesn't pose a problem for me. For printing, I use a standard 0.4mm extrusion nozzle. Layer height is set at 0.075mm. Shell thickness is 0.8mm. Bottom and top thickness are both 0.6mm. Print speed is 50mm/s. Printer settings: Ultimaker is my printer brand. The printer I use is an Ultimaker 2. Rafts will not be used. Supports are enabled, only for minimal support of the filament spool liner, as required. Resolution is set to medium, prioritizing print speed. Infill percentage is set at 20%. Notes: Only supports for the filament spool liner are needed.
