For that I used some leftover 2020 vslot extrusions but you can also use a wooden board or something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI needed this to transfer filament onto spools that are compatible with the AMS. I needed it quick and didn't want to waste time and filament on something elaborate. So here is a minimal setup to wind filament onto a new spool. I hope you find it useful :-) Please let me know what you think.
