Summary

This is a remix of the Little MasterSpool based off of the tetradb 200mm Roller version.

I noticed that the filament roll hung very loosely on the 3 prong version and was giving me problems with the filament getting tangled and unwinding itself more and more over time.

  • This version doubles the amount of spokes to 6 so that the filament roll is held evenly and firmly around the entire diameter.

  • The width of the spool was also decreased by 0.6mm so that it more firmly grips the filament roll from the sides.

  • 3 of the bars that hold the roll also received holes at the base where you can stick the other end of the filament in so it stays in place and cannot roll freely on the spool.

  • The ends of the bars on side A that stick into side B were also chamfered so that both halves can be more easily snapped together simply by pressing.

UPDATE: I added a combo version on suggestion by tetradb that combines both sides A and B together so you only have to print 2 of the same model and then snap them together, for those of you who feel it would be more interesting to try out :)
(this also makes it irrelevant in which direction you place the filament roll on the spool since both sides have holes to insert the other end of the filament in)

UPDATE (13.09.18): I ran the side A and combo files through blender and reduced the number of triangles by 50%, decreasing the file size by half with virtually no noticeable difference in quality.
