2n2r5 Parametric 2 Piece Interlocking Spool - 100% Printable

This is my take on a printable filament spool. I had a few parameters that I wanted to design to.

Thanks to Jesse for this great thread.

It really helped narrow down what I was setting out to do.

  • Entirely printable (including center hub)
  • Interlocking connection in center of hub
  • Ability to change inside and outside diameter of center of spool seperately
  • Tapper ability for both inside and outside of hub
  • Ability to make just spool hubs for pressure fit into tubing (paper towel roll, shipping tubes, toilet paper roll, etc)
  • low amount of plastic used - (teardrop cutout can be turned on and off)
  • Filament holes to hold during spooling then to tie loose ends

  • Small Fixes to the connectors

There are still some options that I want to incorporate but they will have to wait for future designs.
