In reply to Chad House. Oh, that is a great idea. I will give it some thought.

what I have observed with the various filament vendors, is that there is an internal diameter variance for the spool core. Resulting in printing a bunch of vendor dependent spools. It would be very interesting if it could be worked out for a variable spool diameter, some kind of twist expand-retract capability, of say 1-5 mm. Overlapping core segments or something like the Stargate Iris shield.. Is that possible? Then you would only need one kind of spool 😉

Frank, here is a link to the dasfilament version. Since I can not test it, please let me know if it works and if any revisions are needed. Thank you.

Hello my friend
I find your coil very innovative. I use refils from the company das filament (Germany). The dimensions are 185 mm outside diameter 100 mm inside 48 mm width. It would be very nice if you could adapt your coil to this. Many greetings from Germany Frank
