Loose Filament Spool Holder (for Filament Samples) by Tech3Design

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I tend to purchase or otherwise acquire a lot of filament samples that seem to come without any type of spool. There are a lot of spool holders available but I was looking for something specific, not sure why. This is my first attempt and I may revise it.
Loose spools are a pain and either tangle or just plain can't be used because I need them to sit on a spool holder the way my printers are configured in my environment.
With my version there are tabs in the front that you can simply rotate to allow easy insertion & removal of the loose filament coil. Just rotate the tabs towards the center, slide the coil on the three pegs, then rotate the tabs back to their original position.
The center spool size is 55mm and the outer pegs are intended for about a 140mm coil. This is sized to fit a bunch of Algix3D loose filament coils I have right now. If anyone needs different dimensions let me know.
