However you can use any spool holder you might already have laying around or even improvise something using a broomstick and a few clamps for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUPDATE 29.03.2025:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've added a small chamfer at the beginning of the threads, since they were a little hard to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an updated version of my filament respooler. This model allows you to screw an empty spool of filament into a drill in order to transfer the filament from another spool. It unlike many other models, it doesn't require any additional hardware except for a regular pencil. I received a lot of feedback on my old model, leading to two major improvements:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe tolerances in the threads are looser, making it a lot easier to use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI added a gripping surface to the edge of the parts, making it more comfortable to screw them together. The old version had quite sharp edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two versions of the part. The first version has a knurling pattern on the gripping surface, giving it a luxurious feel. This however is very slow to print because of it's fine features. So if you're in a pinch and need the part fast, I recommend the version without the knurling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo use this device simply clamp an empty spool between the who parts and stick a pencil through the hexagonal hole. The pencil which I used is about 7mm thick (between flats). This seems to be quite a common size, at least here in Europe. Than just mount the pencil in an electric drill and put the old spool onto a filament holder. Then just spin up the drill and start spooling. While respooling make sure to guide the filament with a small piece of PTFE tube. The windings don't look perfect but it certainly works if you just occasionally need to respool a roll of filament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is what the finished spools look like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000000781234\/design\/2024-11-12_5574d3af099d5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cboostme\u003e\u003cboosttitle\u003eBoost Me\u003c\/boosttitle\u003e\u003cboostcontent\u003eIf like me, this got you out of a pinch, please consider boosting me\u003c\/boostcontent\u003e\u003c\/boostme\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by TN Designs on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67375184806192,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_09fe9c31-e1d8-4bca-a738-a9f68083f3cd.png?v=1784228745","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/updated-simple-filament-respooler-for-drill","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
