I had some big (3kg each) spools of Herz PLA filament. Those need large and strong external holders. There were no way to put one on my simple (and weak) CTC printer.
I had some PVC tubes nearby as well. With OpenSCAD it needed few minutes to design a joint and a plug to complete this simple filament spool holder.
The design could be easily modified for different tube inner and outer diameters in OpenSCAD. The lengths of the tubes depend on the spool diameter and depth. Since PVC tubes are not always precise maybe some trials are needed.
You need to print two joints and four foot plugs.
You also need five pieces of tubes: one for center and four for legs.
Actually my spool and holder sizes:
Spool outer diameter: 300 mm
Spool inner diameter: 55 mm
Spool depth: 115 mm
Tube outer diameter: 32 mm
Tube inner diameter: 28 mm
Center tube length: 125 mm
Leg tube length: 250 mm
