This probably won't be useful to many, but I wanted to put it out there as I know many of us like to browse this site for ideas. It's just a simple spool adapter that tapers from 46-54 mm to accommodate all the spools I had lying around (Hatchbox, Atomic, AIO Robotics, eSun). I like to make things that utilize traditional hardware where beneficial rather than trying to print every possible aspect. This simple setup uses parts available from most hardware stores and worked perfectly. It's just a piece of 3/8" rod with some flanged bronze bushings and a spring clamp. The adapter cube is just an extra piece that can be used to hold a 3/8" rod in something designed for 2020 extrusion, such as this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:996695

Note: The bushings probably aren't needed with something like PLA, but I had them lying around and liked the look and sound of them. I also like the idea of using components made for particular functions (bushing, inserts, etc...) rather than depending
