The Fully Customizable Minimal MasterSpool

The Fully Customizable Minimal MasterSpool

Description

Inspired by [PIRASP's *minimal MasterSpool*](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2911695) I finally found some time to design a MasterSpool for small printers which is quick and easy to assemble and disassemble, e.g. no screws, glue or other stuff. In contrast to the inspiration source this design doesn't rely on the spool's pressure only. The woodworking-inspired dovetail joints keep everything together and make it more sturdy. See the print instructions in the *Print Settings* section before printing anything. ### Notable Features * **Can be printed on small printers** * Friction fit assembly - no additional stuff required * Customizable axle and spool diameter (mostly everything is customizable) * Option for standoffs * Test-parts to fine tune your print settings for optimum friction fit and adjust the filament holes with virtually no waste of filament * Adjustable label plate dimensions * Use the clip on label to label you spools or re-use the sticker * You can generate spokes with label as well ### Notes * If you make the spokes long enough you can store the spool upright in your shelves... * For 1kg refills simply adjust the width and print a set of spokes. The hubs can be reused! ### Filament usage For a spool with 80 mm axle diameter, structural size of 8 mm, printed with 15% infill, no rafts and no supports: Hub: **23 g** Spoke: **9 g** Label: **12 g** Total for spool with two hubs with standoff, three spokes and one clip-on label: **85g**
