Summary

Dingoboy71's remix of tamel55's filament spool is great and solved some slicing issues I had with the equally great original.

After printing it out, however, I noticed that there was something missing: guide holes to anchor either end of the filament to keep it from unwinding and getting tangled.

This remix adds that simple feature.

How I Designed This

I decided to experiment with OpenSCAD for this project and it worked great. I look forward to using it for other tasks and encourage others to look into it as well.
