Description
This adjustable spool is loosely based on Felix’s design:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4640225
with substantial modifications.
The basic 60mm wide model is simple with only 5 different plastic parts (you will need multiples of most) and a few screws and nuts.
This spool should work no matter the diameter of the center of your filament. The center bars slide in or out to accommodate.
I have also included a simple, snap-in-place filament clip that can remain in place even while printing.
I have included instructions in a separate PDF file.
NOTE: I have changed the design of all of these parts since I first posted this model so I have replaced the old parts.
