V-Spooler Motor Low-Footprint (w/controller USB-C)

V-Spooler motor holder, with controller USB-C PD

Refill 1kg spool under 6 min.

There's 2 print profile, choose the right one for your motor !

Easy to find parts (only 3 needed)

Cheap parts

Fit in the footprint of the original V-Spooler (no motor bump)

No modification of the V-Spooler needed, use the original holes.

The controller box has a clear part (PLA) to show the power light.

I suggest printing the small gear (motor gear) in PETG due to heat creap from the motor.

If you want to use this continually (more than 1 or 2 respool per hour), I suggest using 15V and not 20V.

(A little bit slower but generate less heat)

UPDATED: Added insert for screw on the small (motor) gear
