A universal spool adapter for spool holders/hangers that hangs the spool on a rod with 608 bearings. It fits spools with inner diameter from 50mm to 75mm. 

I designed it for my spool holder here:

Full-size version

  • Works best for plastic spools.
  • I tested it with spools from different brands with inner diameters from 50mm to 72mm.
  • However, it doesn't work well for paper spools as the hub's internal diameter is larger than 75mm.
  • It uses more materials but is better at returning to its original shape after compression.

Light version

  • Designed specifically for paper spools, it fits securely on both ends of the hub.
  • It should work for plastic spools, too.
  • It uses fewer materials, which might prevent it from returning to its original shape after compression.

Printing

  • *** It must be printed using flexible filament. I used TPU 95A***
  • 0.4mm Nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. 
  • No support needed

Assemble

  • Straight forward. Just insert a 608 bearing at both ends.
  • For the smaller one, you need to print two of them.
