Reusable Spool Upgraded

Reusable Spool Upgraded

This would not normally be worth a posting here but I wanted to bring to everyone's attention that I have revised this today after posting it a day or so ago. Someone pointed out to me that the filament anchoring holes (for winding filament - should you want to) should be parallel to the wound filament. I was not aware of that so I have changed it. But I have left anchoring holes in the walls as well. So I welcome comments and feedback.

I feel this is now a fantastic spool if you want a reusable spool for winding filament or using with Bambulab refills and also now the new eSun refills (perhaps others too). Of course, the spool can be used on any printer, but it is designed for refills with the Bambulab size core.

I have made a handful of revisions mostly driven by PhilH (thank you Phil). They include:

  • tapering the core for easier loading and unloading
  • improved internal geometry reduces print time and material
  • compliant indexing tab allows both halves to be identical
  • six filament anchoring holes for winding of filament
  • AMS and non-AMS versions

The snap-on and snap-off label cards as well as the twist and lock design make this spool my favourite reusable spool yet.
