I needed an ultra-lightweight ⚖️ spool 🧵 that uses less than 100g of filament, but I couldn’t find one.

So, I designed this customizable model, allowing you to easily create your own spool for any filament.

I’ll be adding more prefabs soon. Just let me know Your spool dimentions in comment
I’d also love for You to contribute too! If you’ve created a printing profile for your spool, feel free to share it. This will help others save time and give them ready-to-use models in different sizes.

Customisable tool and parameters description

Basic spool dimentions:

Other dimentions:

hole_diameter - size of the filament handling holes (must be at least 2mm smaller than solid_edge)

hole_distance - distance between holes (count is constans now)

solid_edge - thicknes of line around flange which will be more solid if You use modifier*

*modifier is an additional object which will be generated and can be used as a modifier in slicer. This allows You to make solid stable spool but use less material in flange center:
