Hi all,

I designed a 3D printer spool adapter. (found some design inspiration on thingiverse). Thought some of you might have a use for it. It uses configurations to adjust a few of the parameters. I will say, Onshape Configurations are way easier to figure out than ProE family tables! ha ha.

    Very nice. Thanks. I hope to remember that tensioning method going forward. I also like other features like the arm flanges for insertion stops and the lead ins. The darker of the adapters have a nice metallic look. What is the color? What filament did you use to print them? - Scotty

    Hi, thanks for the comment. I bought some silver color PLA about a year ago just to have some color variety. It was just some 20 USD stuff from Amazon. I didn't pay any attention to the brand. They were all printed in PLA. I'm sure they will take a set eventually, but they will probably still function ok.
