I found some old filament in a box, but the spools didn't fit on my enclosure's spool carrier. I'm trying to figure out how to do stuff in Blender and thought this would be a fairly easy project.

Respooler Files

  • filamentRespoolerBit - This slides into the bolt's head and can be gripped in a drill's chuck. I used some super glue so I won't lose it, but it isn't necessary.
  • filamentRespoolerHub
  • filamentRespoolerHubKeyed - There is a small key that is made to slip into a Prusament spool and help hold it in place. I don't think it was necessary. You're probably better off printing two hubs instead of a regular hub and a keyed hub
  • filamentRespoolerAxle - A big bolt 

Test Files

  • filamentRespoolerHubTest
  • filamentRespoolerAxleTest

You can print these out separately from everything else to ensure that the axle will screw into the hub. If it doesn't, you can adjust the X and Y (NOT Z) scaling of the axle until it does screw in properly. Once you're satisfied, you can apply those settings to the full size Axle and the Bit.
