Description
This is an add-on part for LTS Respooler from LTS Design.
I like the LTS Respooler and enjoyed the build. However, it is only designed for rewinding onto BBL spools. Since I have lots of other spools, this design limitation annoyed me a little.
The LTS Respooler therefore has two limitations:
1. The outer diameter of the spool must be 200 mm. Since this is pretty much standard, it's not a big deal. It can't be changed due to the design either.
2. The inner diameter of the spool must be 55 mm. Spools from Extrudr, for example, have an inner diameter of 53 mm. This problem can be solved in terms of design.
This is where my quick-change system comes in. There are adapter sleeves for different inner diameters of the spools.
The shape of a rounded Reaux triangle ensures that the sleeve is self-centering on the main shaft.
At the start of this project, there are two adapter sleeves.
One for BBL spools (55 mm) and one for Extrudr spools (53 mm).
Without sleeves, the diameter is 48 mm.
If you need a customized sleeve, please write it in the comments. I will try to create a fitting one in my limited time and upload it.
