Even if very good, I wasn't 100% satisfied of the original model.

  • I wasn't able to print perfect flat sides, they always bend far too much to my taste
  • Side are too thin
  • I find they took far too much space to store
  • Missing 99mm spool center I need to replace poor cardboard side on some of my spools
  • I found the edges too sharp and damaging the storage bags
  • I found the center part too long for 250g spools
  • No space for a label
  • I don't like to add width to cardboard spools, prefer to use electrical tape.
  • The system is not really well suited to fully replace the cardboard spool sides.
  • etc…

For me it was enough reasons to review them in my own way so that they meet my needs, but wanted to keep the compatibility with the original system as much as possible. So I kept the center parts nearly as is as it is fully functional an allow usage of desiccant.

The main goals was to use this system for my 250g spools and to replace damaged cardboard spool sides.

What I've done :

  • I've separated the side from the center parts.
  • I thicken the side by 0.4mm, thicken the outside ring, added a label part, made some holes for fingers.
  • I've made 5 different center parts, the long one with different length, and slightly rounded the edges to reduce their sharpness.
  • I've created missing 96 to 100mm center rings, and reviewed their shape to reduce the material required to print them.
  • Based on the “Spool Star ”design from nushipwright I adapted it to the UnSpAd.
  • Created a center part for those who love to respool (not tested as I won't do that).

Printer all parts in ASA but the star ring in PETG.
