Found that after a few reel changes and using the 3D printed spindle that it was somewhat loose. My answer was to drill a 3mm hole in the outer cone and then use a tap to give it a good thread and used a 3mm plastic screw. Only finger tightness is needed and the cones now sit with no slippage on the spindle.
Needed something to centre the filament reels I have. The centre of the reels are mostly different sizes so came up with this little paraboloid shape in Tinkercad.
