Yet Another Samples Spool... Box

thingiverse

I've got a stash of sample filaments just like everyone else here. The problem is they don't amount to enough to fill up a large spool, let alone print out a big project. As for me, I prefer taking filament from a full spool to work so I can hone my printing skills with the designs I've come up with. Normally, I'd snip off just the right amount and stash it in a zip-lock bag. But lately, that's gotten old, so I decided to repurpose the box that comes with a small spool of filament for carrying purposes. I designed a mini spool that fits neatly inside the box and a bowden tube mount to ensure a seamless transition from the box to my printer. It's compact, easy to transport, and hopefully, it'll get the job done. What do you think? I'm hoping others will find this as useful as I have.
