A brief video deomonstration:

Inspired by the struggles of some printers to use cardboard spools, this device will ensure level winding of filament onto a new plastic spool.

Run with a 3/8" socket adapter.  If you want to drive it using something else, there are 4 M3 screws in a 50mm square on the drive gear.

 

UPDATE 2023/01/23 : Added in the 50 tooth gear I forgot to upload.

 

Non-printed parts required:

5x 608 bearings (I used 608ZZ, but 2RS would work too)

8x M3 x 4 x 5 Heatset Inserts

2x 6x3 Neodidymium magnets

3x M3 nuts

Assorted M3 Hardware (Ranges from M3x12-M3x40, will update this soon)

Some Glue

Optional, but useful is a piece of PTFE tube (bowden tube sized, 4x2mm)

When gluing the diamond shaft together, use two of the bearings to ensure correct positioning.
