Description

PDF

Idea is not new, but wanted to recycle old filament spools. Started with a Hatchbox spool.

 

Includes slot for paper labels.

 

Use an M3 screw(s) to affix. May wish to include washer(s) between spool and container. A couple mm clearance on height of container.

 

To be fancy, drill a hole thru the container and spool and use QTY 2, size 4 mm DIAx2 mm thick round magnets to hold a container in place when closed. 

 

 

Hole jig also provided.

 

Dimensions [mm]

ID: is the usable diameter for the container
