Filament Drying Spool with Drill Winding Adapter

thingiverse

- Easy drill winding - Lower profile than most 1 kg spools for compatibility with toaster ovens - Embossed material tags and recessed area for labeling with e.g. brand or drying parameters - Four widely spaced sets of holes to secure brittle filament with less risk of breakage and prevent an excessive length from sticking out in the oven - Designed to print well with large layer heights and extrusion widths as well as most wet filament - Much smaller amount of material and quicker printing time than most spools on here if recommended settings are used Unblended polycarbonate is strongly recommended, as it's relatively inexpensive, the most heat-resistant common filament, and holds threads well. I've tested it at over 140 °C in a PID-controlled convection oven without warpage, but I would suggest not exceeding 125 °C with less accurate temperature regulation. You might be able to print this in PC without a heated/insulated enclosure due to the large surface area in contact with the bed and relatively small portion extending into the air, but I haven't tested it. You can also probably scale the model in X and Y as long as you drill out the screw holes. Requires M3 and M5 taps plus 3x M3 and 3x M5 screws. The uploaded images are from an earlier version with the filament securing holes spaced closer together and no material tag or recessed area for labeling, but the pictures are otherwise identical to the models here.
