Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Update 31/05/2018
New design to fit filament 75mm diameter centre hole
Update 21/02/218:
Added cut aways to use less material. May use same amount though as supports will be required. Untested
Update 26-01-18:
Printed and tested and seems to be doing well.
Fits together nicely and keeps things in place.
Took around 1 1/2 hours to print at 0.2 layer height
Update v3 24-01-18:
Simplified to 2 parts
untested
Update v2 24-01-18:
I've added a single sided threaded spindle so you only need to print 1 of each item rather than the double threaded where 2 of the cones and nuts were required
I had my own design spool holder made out of 21.5mm plastic plumbing pipe and most filament spools have a hole diameter of between 45mm and 65mm. this isnt great as the spool doesn't turn to well and is putting pressure on the extruder to get the filament off the spool. To over come this i designed this spindle to act as like a bushing for the filament spool.
Requires to be printed:
1 off Spindle
2 off Cone
2 off Nut
