I really like the design of this. Two thinks, that should be corrected:
- please make a kind of fixation for the filament. The clips are nice, but very fidely to use.
- the rise of the thread is not good. I get a lot of those nasty strings when I print it.
@schlosesserkristof Check out my remix with fixation holes and with the print profile using dynamic layer height in order to improve the threads. (: https://makerworld.com/da/models/103197
this is a terrific print. it makes it easy to consolidate nearly empty spools and save space, especially with the modular design which makes it easy to reload or swap them.
It fits at least 200g and probably 250g of filament per mini spool.
One word of caution though, make sure your PLA is dry before moving it over. Otherwise you’ll splinter the filament that was more tightly wound on the original spool.
Prints great! But I can't see how this would work with the 1/3 spool dividers... the lead screw travels too far to center to use the spool closest to the gears, and the lead screw travels too close to the gears to use the spool in the center. Maybe this is only designed for the 1/2 spool dividers?
What a genius idea. These spools have got to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm going to use one set to hold TPU in three flavors. I have plans to make another set to hold the leftovers of short spools. This could be a way to triple the spools in my four AMS units. All you have to do is feed the one you're using. I can hardly wait to see if there's a double spool in the works.
