Jessie Filament Spool Fixer

Do you love Jessie PLA?

Damn right you do! It's a miracle of modern filament production!

It only had one problem... The filament spools kept poking holes in my vacuum bags... Well, not anymore!

Tired of getting holes in your vacuum bags? Sick of trying to find two different sized end-pieces for your spool holder?

Ever thought to yourself:
“Hey self, I sure wish I could tell what color filament I have over there from the side of the spool!”

“Hey that’s a good point also-self, what a conundrum!”

Well, set your frustrations aside, my friends! The answer to your prayers is here. Print these out and you can rest easy at night knowing you no longer have to worry about poking holes in your vacuum bags!

Plus! As an added bonus! If you print them with the actual filament you are protecting, you'll have the extra deluxe feature (at no additional charge) of a color swatch of your filament on each side of the spool!

I give you The Jessie Filament Spool Fixer!

You know, for spools! 💥 🤯 💡 ⭕️

(These are specifically designed to fit in and correct the sharp edges on Printed Solid's Jessie Filament spools as well as to give the spool a uniform axle size on both sides to make it more compatible with the gravity spool rewinder (and similar axle, held spool holders).

• v2 "axle correction with plug": made the "plug" slightly smaller to make it seat a little better/more centered.
  *v2 "axle correction" (with and without plug): made the axle opening .3mm wider - the old version was very very slightly too narrow. this should make it an exact match.
• v2 "Cut Plug": Reduced the size of the cutout by .1mm to help give the Cut Plug a very slight overhang to protect against an edge becoming exposed if it rotates slightly in the hole. - Does not affect the outer axle circumference.
  V3 rework: added a new part “Big Side Fixer” and changed some part names for consistency. added a 2mm chamfer to all non-flush edges.

Print instructions

There are five models, though for the best protection, you only need to print two: the “Small Side Fixer” and the “Big Side Fixer”

The “Plugs” (cut and uncut) are provided for a less foolproof level of protection but require less time and filament - if you aren’t especially worried about pulling a hard vacuum on you filament bag, and don’t need a consistent inner axle size, these should be fine.

The “Big Side Donut” is simply to correct the two sizes of axle holes but offers little protection against tears in your vacuum bags. But again, if this is all you need it for, go for it!

To Print:

Minimal perimeters and minimal infill (I use 3 bottom, 3 top, and 2 sides with an infill of 10% Gyroid)

0.4 Nozzle at .2 layer height (or whatever your go-to for standard printing is).
