Introducing the Spool Guard, a meticulously designed solution to address the persistent issue of paper spools getting stuck on rollers or filament dryers. This innovative accessory ensures a seamless 3D printing experience by eliminating the challenges posed by paper friction and rim crumble.

**Key Features:**
1. **Enhanced Protection:** The Spool Guard acts as a reliable shield, safeguarding both the rim and core of the spool from potential damage caused by friction and crumbled paper edges.

2. **Effortless Spool Rotation:** Experience smoother filament management as the Spool Guard significantly reduces friction, allowing the spool to spin freely. This ensures a consistent and reliable feed of filament during your 3D printing projects.

3. **Configurable Parameter:**
