This is just the hub of a spool so you can save filament by reusing the disks or flanges of an old spool.
Cut the flanges off the hub of an empty spool. I used an Overture spool made of cardboard.
Print both sides of the hub and the template. The template is used to cut the old spool's flange to fit the new hub. You may need to download the STEP of the template to adjust the inner diameter to match your old spool's inner diameter (or just eyeball it).
Affix the hub parts to the old flanges. You can glue them or use screws in the holes provided, but I found a friction fit to be sufficient.
Get your filament and screw the hub pieces together.
