Filawinder Cardboard Spool
Description
With My New Filastruder And Filawinder In Hand I Have Quickly Filled The Couple Of Empty Plastic Spools I'Ve Been Saving, I Also Wanted Some Smaller Spools For 250G Runs Of Filament For Some Custom Colours. I Designed These To Be Simple To Make With Materials At Hand That Would Fit The Filawinder Spooler And Wont Bind On The Servo Arm. It Is Close On The First Position So You May Need To Move Back One Notch. By Using The Same Sides And Varying The Spool Drum Width (90Mm Postal Tube) You Can Have 250G, 500G,1Kg Spools, Or Even Bigger If You Like. Measurements: End Diameter = 200Mm Centre Hole Diameter = 40Mm Drum Diameter = 90Mm I Designed Around A 90Mm Postal Tube Cut Into The Following Lengths: 25Mm = 250G 50Mm = 500G 90Mm = 1Kg I'Ve Done The Calculations For Pla And Abs For 1.75Mm Filament Not For 3Mm I Strongly Suggest To Cut Out The Additional Reinforcing Pieces As Well. These Strengthen The Spool Hole Considerably And Should Allow For Multiple Reuse On The Filawinder. Note: Do Not Put In Oven Or Heated Dehydrator To Dry Filament Once On Spool As Hotglue Will Come Unstuck. I Totally Forgot About The Hotglue And Found Out The Hard Way Doh! See Photo Above, It Was Easy To Repair Though And Didn'T Have To Re-Spool Phew!
