Simple Sample Spool

thingiverse

I designed this for my own use since I frequently work with small samples of filament, usually 10 and 20 meter samples. Most spools available on Thingiverse were either too large or took far too long to print, so I created a quick and easy-to-print model. To assemble the device, simply print the central hub and three of the arms, then bolt them together for instant use. Three M3 bolts are required, but that's all you'll need. Each arm features a hole where you can slot in the filament, allowing it to stay securely in place while still being easy to remove if needed. Additionally, each arm has a clip to keep the other end from tangling when not in use.
