Ultimate Filament Respooler - 8mm bolt remix

Introducing the 8mm hexbolt remix of the very nice model made by Geert Bevin. I found myself in a situation that incorporated big filamentspools, printers of various sizes, not enough desk space and a considerable amount of small presents to be printed. I wanted to have all my printers going, but had no means of respooling from a 10kg spool onto an empty 1kg spool unless I was going to do it by hand. Of course I wasn't going to do that. Found Geert's model here on Printables, printed it, and found that I had no way of actually connecting it to my drill (only had small drillbits to insert into the original model). Remixed the model so that it is possible to slide a 8mm hexbolt through the model, stick the threads through and then clamp the threads with a drill chuck. I have been spooling like crazy! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Things needed: 8mm Hexbolt (13mm head). Filament to print with. Drill to respool with, filament to respool, empty spool for filament to respool on to. Time. You are also going to need the right piece from Geert's model (the “nut” part). As I did not remix that part, I did not upload it in this entry to Printables. Check it out here: https://www.printables.com/model/126693-ultimate-filament-respooler No supports, whatever nozzle size you want, whatever filament type you want. Be brave! Would recommend not doing this print as fast as you possibly can, as it will give you a lot of stringing / misplaced extrution if you do. Go for quality, not speed. Happy (re)spooling! Please leave a like/heart - You never now if it is my self esteem or ego that will get a boost * Shrug *!
