Description
Idea is not new, but wanted to recycle old filament spools. Started with a Hatchbox spool.
Includes slot for paper labels.
Use an M3 screw(s) to affix. May wish to include washer(s) between spool and container. A couple mm clearance on height of container.
To be fancy, drill a hole thru the container and spool and use QTY 2, size 4 mm DIAx2 mm thick round magnets to hold a container in place when closed.
Hole jig also provided.
Dimensions [mm]
ID: is the usable diameter for the container
h_ID : height of spool usable for the container
