I wanted something I could take apart and put back together in case I wanted to put a sample roll on the spool without trying to wind it up. I also wanted the end of the filament closest to the center of the spool to be “locked” in so the filament did not spin around the spool if I did decide to wind the filament a little tighter around the spool.

So far this seems to work well for my needs.

This model uses:

  • 2 - brass inserts for M3 screws
  • 2 - M3x12mm screws. (you can use screws a little longer, but 12mm seems to be the shortest)

When printing, if you use supports to support the screw hole shoulders on Part 1, make sure to put a support blocker on the angled hole used to hold the filament end. Otherwise, the hole will fill up with supports and they can be hard to get out. If you forget, a small drill bit on a drill can help get the support out.
