A few modifications to allow the Pastamatic to be used for 1kg and 5kg spools. I raised the height of the source spool by 35mm with a wider smooth bracket riser, but it fits in the same area.
The crossbars, target spool female threaded section, and lead screw are all longer to accommodate the wider source spools. The crossbars also have a couple holes so that you can screw the Pastamatic down, but still slide the risers to accommodate the different spool widths.
I also modified the leadscrew thread turnaround to not be larger than the main thread and follow the coil path smoothly, so it dwells less at the ends, which was causing uneven spooling on my Inland spools.
For the source spool, use the 5kg spool holder from Blargedy's 5kg upgrade.
