Much nicer than a design i was thinking of. I think mods would be for 5lb spool, and 608 bearing. Maybe a hook for extension springs vs a rubber band.

Very cool I am using this spindle and about to print another one because the one I have printed is broken.. The one issue I have with it is I find myself wanting the U-shaped pieces to be longer, so that I can accommodate filament with a bigger coil diameter.

The clip also attaches nicely to wire shelves.

Brilliant! I wanted to make a small modification to the hub to adapt it to my setup but, alas, the .ipt files can't be read by my older version of Inventor. Any chance you could post .stp's?

There is an extra hole that isn't in the pics on the spokes. what is it for? Awesome design btw! just finish printing it

All Rights Reserved, huh? Lame! I made a bushing to adapt this to fit an 8mm rod and was going to derive it, but oh well! :(

the diameter of my 1 lb filament packages is at least an 3-6 cm wider than the prongs reach in each direction. I like the design, but short or rewinding the spool (which I hope to avoid), I don't believe it will work for me unless the hub has significally longer arms.

elegant design though, but may need some scaling for sources of filament. perhaps you can upload scad files so it can be scaled? thx.

How are you attaching this to your printer? Is there a center rod that you're using?

Where have you been all my life? Awesome!

Wow, just when I'm almost done printer a different spindle that's not nearly as good looking as this one. Nice work!
