Adjustable Sample Filament Spool

An adjustable filament spool for samples or remnants. Collapse it fully for loading and adjust the arms and forks as needed depending on your sample or remnant diameter.

The spool inner diameter is 44mm and is more than enough to fit the stock spool holder on an Ender 3. At full extension, it will fit a sample spool of ~ 65mm inner diameter.

When collapsed, it will fit the sample white filament shipped with the ender 3 pro.

Holes in the Arms for end and start of filament.
