It's true that since you cannot split the spool in the middle, it is a bit difficult to put on tightly wound filament (i rolled it on manually), but the design makes up for it by looking cool and being size adjustable! Fits perfectly on the AMS Lite

I used the model with supports. Great work and easy to print. It just works as excpected.
Thank you!

Printen in prusament petg prusa-Orange. The Arms have some play to them but i think that is because of the Material. Since i want to dry the samples on this spool pla was a no-Go.

Great design, handy if you order Amazon Basics filament samples :)
However, it could have been a bit tighter.

PETG
0,6 mm nozzle
0,2 mm layer
Usefull, premade supports works good

I found these a bit too difficult to get the sample coils onto, they just don't get over the forks easily and IMO it reduces the functionality essentially to zero to have to respool or unspool to get them on. If you have similar problems with yours, I'd recommend looking for a sample spool holder that splits in the middle.

Nice idea and model though!

Works good

Great little print for tangle-free use of sample filaments. Printed in PETG with 0.3mm draft and still came off the bed with all moving parts free (edited)

Verry useful to have on hand. Made one in black PLA and the second one out of scraps of PLA spools. Both work perfectly.

Printed with supports. Works well. For me I wish the gear/arm was a bit tighter and stronger, but it works perfectly fine.
