Description

I bought some filament from Amazon, and it does not fit the Replicator2 spindle, the center is 3 Centimeters, so I figured why not make my own. I Took measurements from the original Makerbot spindle, and designed a new one in 3dMax that works with 3 Centimeter spool holes. This also works with the original Makerbot spools as well, and it does not require pinching to get the spool on.

I did it at 100% fill, and used RepG for slicing, and did layer height of 100 microns just so it was strong. Works great for any spool  I've tried.

Any Suggestions on fill density or which slicer to use?

I ordered Red JET PLA from Amazon and it came today. It's on the same spindle so this is perfect for me. I'm printing this right now. Thanks so much.
