About the spool holder generator
A spool holder next to the printer lets filament unwind without effort, which prevents extrusion problems. It is also great for drying or storing spools and for printers without a built-in holder.
This holder has a base with two upright supports with U slots on top and an axle with stops at both ends. Enter the spool width and diameter and the spool hole.
What you can adjust
Axle with stops
Conical, prints standing without supports.
U slots
The axle just rests: easy on and off.
Two colors
Base and axle as separate parts.
Ideas for use
- Next to the printer
- For drying filament
- To display spools on a shelf
- To unwind wire, thread or ribbon
How it works
- Measure the spool width, diameter and center hole.
- Click "Create in the editor": the base and axle open ready.
- Print both parts as they are and assemble.
How to print
- Material
- PLA or PETG
- Layer height
- 0.2 to 0.28 mm
- Walls
- 3 perimeters
- Supports
- Not needed
- A bit of graphite or petroleum jelly on the axle makes it spin easier.
- For 2 kg spools, increase the support thickness to 8 mm.
FAQ
Does it work for 1 kg and 2 kg spools?
Yes, enter your spool's diameter and width. For 2 kg, use thicker supports.
Does the axle spin inside the spool?
The spool turns around the axle, which rests in the U slots.
Is it free?
Yes. The maker and the editor are free and run in your browser. Without an account, the project is kept for 48 hours; with a free account, it is kept in your account.
Which format do I download?
3MF (recommended: keeps colors and opens directly in Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and Creality Print), STL or OBJ, always in millimeters.
