Description
This is a spindle for 40mm spools.
Combine with some Tinkertoys and you've got yourself a handy way to feed another color into your printer without removing existing spools.

Instructions
No construction necessary. Print two and fit onto a 1cm shaft.
Depending on your printer's fidelity, you may want to wrap a piece of tape around the inner shaft of each spindle to ensure a snug fit into your spool.
I use a strip of painters' tape on each spindle. Works great.

Shows up on the same day as my solution does.
I'll probably build something like this one day.
I know, right? Archimedes posted one a couple hours before I did:

I have a theory that a new spindle of some kind is posted to Thingiverse every forty minutes or so.
