Increases the diameter of the spool holder for the Longer LK5/LK5 Pro, may also work with LK4, or similar spool holders. You can pop off the cap at the end of the holder to place it on there, would recommend having the flared side on the end with the cap.
I found that the spool weight would change the amount of friction on the extruder gears by a noticeable amount. After putting a cardboard tube on it that helped some. This is a more refined approach that minimizes friction for extrusion movements.
Also my first ever CAD project, so sry if it isn't perfect, but the model prints fine. (Ignore my bad print settings that you can see, I didn't bother to slow it down on the insides.)
