Inspired by hitechguy2000's axis cover, I thought I definitely need a mini spool as an extruder visualizer for my sprite extruder. Luckily, Pixelle shared their beautiful mini spool design to remix and actually kineticgeek already had the same idea to use it as a vertical spinner.

However, I wanted (and needed) it horizontal. That way the mini spool rotates like her bigger brother!

So, I made an adaptor for the extruder's shaft and fitted the respective parts to make it spin whithout hindrance by the cooling fan.

Comments and reviews are appreciated! Please enjoy!

 

Print Settings

Printer Brand: Creality

Printer: Ender-3 S1 Pro

Supports: No

Resolution: Cura Dynamic (.16 mm)

Infill: 20%

Filament: Sunlu PLA, Black / White

Notes:

No supports needed!

Might want to use brims for adhesion depending on your settings.

 

Post-Printing

All parts can be plugged together.

Depending on your print quality, it might be a little hard to fit them. I just pressed the whole stack against the table's surface until it clicked. The result is now absolutely secure.

In case to many people have issues, I also have another idea for the adaptor. Just let me know.
