Small spool for filament samples

prusaprinters

<p>I needed an easy and fast printed spool for all the filament samples I've recently acquired (I am still quite new to all this and I want to test all the filaments I can get my hands on to). I didn't want to spend days printing, nor big amounts of filament. I also wanted it to be able to properly fit on a spool holder, not those tiny ones. So I designed my own.</p><p>1h 40min print time for the base, 50min for the lid. 27grams of filament total.</p><p>50mm inside diameter, 110 mm on the outside. Quite sturdy too.</p><p>Add-on design - print as many bases as you want as they snap to each other's back into a wider spool. You will only need one lid.</p><p>There is a hole at the bottom to easily fix the sample's end.</p><p>No screws are needed, no assembly, just an easy snap. You can add a dot of super glue if you have trouble fixing them together (I guess it depends on the printer's tolerance or print resolution, dunno really mine snapped pretty good).&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well this is it, hope it helps someone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>HOW TO PRINT</strong></p><p>I printed them in Prusament Recycled PLA (guess PETG will work too)</p><p>0.2mm layer<br>15% infill&nbsp;</p><p>I've added a modifier to the bottom 2.5mm to disable top and bottom layers, add 4 perimeters, and select 15% Honeycomb infill (that's to enable the honeycomb pattern on the sides)</p>
