I made this to fit Overture cardboard spools as perfectly as possible. Will work for a lot of others as well.

It will require supports near the bottom of the main part and the little cap could use them as well.
I made this because when I feed filament out of my dryers the spools lifts off the rollers when they get light and this usually causes them to get jammed. Adding weight to the spool prevents this.
Fill with the heaviest stuff you got. So far I have filled with aquarium gravel to get about 250g and then with steel bb's to get ~ 550g which is more than enough to make sure the spool stays in place.
UPDATE: 7 Feb 2026 - increased thread tolerance and increased lead-in chamfer on the little end cap so it threads easier.
