Description
I've tried a ton of spool adapters but they were all lacking in one way or another, so I designed my own in fusion with the features I desired:
I don't have a ton of brands to test, but like I said, this should work with any 1kg spool with a center hole diameter of at least 65mm. I can confirm it works for the common sunlu/anycubic 72mm I.D. spool, as well as the 75mm I.D. geeetech/giantarm spools. If you have a different brand that my adapter works for, a mention in the comments would be appreciated and I'll add it to the list.
There's two version available for printing; Grip and Knurled. Grip is easier to use since it has a more pronounced grip. It's also the faster print. Knurled I decided to make to see which one I'd like more. I ended up preferring the grip version, but the knurled version is done, so I figured I'd include it anyway. It does look really cool though. 😉
Also, you could use a combination of the two; I like the grip spindle and the knurled knob combo a lot.
When it comes to printing, it's best printed as in the 3mf file; the knobs get printed with the angled side facing the print bed, and the spindles get printed with the thread side facing the plate. You can enable brims if you'd like, but I haven't needed to on any of the prints I've done of the adapter.
PETG is ideal, PLA should work fine as well. I printed mine with gray anycubic (sunlu) PETG.
Thanks for looking and happy printing!
