3D Solutech + Filaform Select Masterspool Adapter

cults3d

This is an adapter for 3D Solutech brand, 1kg, filament spools and Filaform Select spooless, 1kg, 1.75mm, brand filament. Instead of printing an entire MasterSpool system spool (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2769823), which can take upwards of 15hrs to print and use a lot of filament, this adapter allows you to reuse empty 3D Solutech spools. It is based on Parametric customizer used spool refill filament adapter (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3512438) by mazhive (https://www.thingiverse.com/mazhive). The dimensions used are a height of 55mm, an outer diameter of 98.5mm, and an inner diameter of 78mm. This fits a Filaform spooless roll perfectly. Due to the way 3D Solutech spools are manufactured, there is no need to cut the spool in half as per the original instructions posted by mazhive. Instead, the tabs holding the spool together can be pressed in to separate both halves. The size of the adapter means it creates a friction fit with the spool halves, negating the need for drilling any holes and using zip ties to fasten. Update 20th Aug 2020 Remodelled from scratch to remove unnecessary geometry. This should decrease printing time
