Description

The pasta lite is a superb design but the first time I used it, it overtightened onto my spool and I had to break it apart to retrieve the spool. 
This drop in replacement allows you to insert an allen key (hex key) in the non geared spindle. This is used in conjunction with the ¼" driver bit in the geared spindle to unlock the 2 geared parts. 

I have included an imperial spindle (¼" allen key), a metric spindle (6mm allen key) and a metric geared spindle.

 

I printed both parts in esun ASA for durability and wear resistance, but PLA or PETG should work perfectly fine too

As extra insurance to prevent prevent the spindles binding you can print my tpu spacer that fits in between the 2 spindles to prevent overtightening.
