SlantSpool Reusable Filament Spool

We run a commercial 3D printing farm. We have literally thrown away hundreds of spools and we hate it. The weight of the spools increases our freight cost, and they are just a waste of plastic in general, not to mention the environment issues. So we created this reusable filament spool as a resource to filament manufacturers that wish to eliminate the cost of spools to their customers and in their production.

We recently ran across the MasterSpool, by RichRep and while he had a good concept for individual 3D printers, the MasterSpool doesn't work at the larger scale. It uses too much material and has more Guff associated with it than what we want. So we continued on and designed a spool that we wanted to use in our printer farm.

The SlantSpool is just one piece, printed twice. We created a special latching system, so there is no right and left. You can put any two of the SlantSpool halves together. This is great when you have a lot of them because you don't have to worry about
