thingiverse

This is a pair of spacers to steady the filament reels sold by HobbyKing. Spacer1 is for eSun 0.5 Kg reels which are are 36mm wide with 53mm inside diameter. Spacer2 is for Hobbyking branded reels which are are 61mm wide with 58mm inside diameter. The adaptor is designed for a Wanhao duplicator 4, spindle diameter 30mm, length 90mm. May also be suitable for Makerbot, but check dimensions. Also suitable for Tevo Little Monster and most likely many others Instructions Slide over the existing spool holder and tighten the nut to nip the adaptor. You can then change spools without removing the nut. As for the filament, I've just started using it, haven't tried bridging tests and only tried at 210C so yet to find its sweet spot. (1.75mm PLA) Pros : Good solid colour, good self-adhesion, good adhesion to glass (with PVA wash), useful reel size, good price. Cons : Dribbling when idle, poor adhesion to blue tape.
