K8200 filament spool spindle

thingiverse

I wanted a filament spool spindle filler that I could fit on my K8200 without unscrewing the end screw and couldn't find anything on-line. Developed these hinged ones that you can use straight off the printer bed. Have only just printed, but used 30% infill and 0.25mm layer height and they worked straight away and have quite a good stiff feel about them. N.B. You just need a kitchen knife to wedge the jaws apart without too much force. Also, you will need to rotate the STL file by 180 degrees to print it out and use supports everywhere in Cura Happy to mod this to match different spindle or shaft sizes .. mines a tiny bit loose on velleman standard reels, so I will probably post another soon ... currently works on the standard 6mm shaft that came with the K8200 BTW: Used Freecad to create this, so easy to change as it's a parametric modelling tool
