This adapter works for a specific spool shape, check the photos if your spool is the same (I got the spool from recycling fabrik, so I have no idea who makes it, if you know please post a comment)

Hardware
The model requires 4 M4 nuts and 4 M4x70 bolts with countersunk head (check the photos)

Print instructions
Print each part once. I printed in ABS, pick a material that uses higher temperatures so the spool hold while drying.

Recycling fabric adapter - screw side - no supports needed, orientation as in the file
Recycling fabric adapter - nut side - I used generated supports for the nut holes
Recycling fabric adapter - collar - I used 5mm brim

Assembly
Press 4 M4 nuts in the nut side.

Cut the spool in the middle (where the filament goes), no need to be precise, I used a hacksaw. Use a scalpel or sandpaper to clean the cut line.

Slide the collar over one of the spool sides.

Refill
Place the refill over the collar and slide the other spool half over it. 

Place the sides over the hole from the outside and secure with the bolts, do not tighten yet.

Cut the zip ties on the filament refill and take them out.

Tighten the bolts, be careful not to over-tighten, you may break the sides.
