Description
As a part of my new fillament spoolholder system, I chose to use the Wider and narrower remix spool holder, which is a remix of https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/146757-spool-holder-with-bearings which is a remix of orginal model https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/62910-use-m3-screws-spool-holder-for-prusa-mini-flexible
But i decided to go on with the tradition and remix it further: I wanted the hand knob to be on the other end of the handle - at one stage, I wanted to connect two of these holders together, so i needed the knob on the moving side.
Prusaslicer turned out to be the best tool for the job: I simply reoriented the screw to be as vertical as i could get it (it's somewhat awry by default by whatewer reason), separated the knob using the vertical cut tool and added/substracted a simple connection crosses (which i modelled in Inventor), plus a plain disc where the knob used to be.
There's sufficient clearance between the male and female connector to allow easy assembly, feel free to add them in your shape library and use anywhere you like.
A friendly tip for the end: if you intend to glue these parts together, don't do it before you assemble the spool holder :D
