Polymaker Cardboard Spool Adapter

The Polymaker spool adapter is designed to help your cardboard spools print more consistently by reducing friction and creating a structured rolling surface. The spool adapter clips around the face of the Polymaker cardboard spool and is fixed in place by three small tabs that grab the edge of the spool and a location pin that stops the adapter from spinning.

The adapter can help your 3D printer by reducing the rolling friction when mounted both internally or externally on almost every design of the spool holder. One benefit that the cardboard spool provides is durability. The spool can be dropped off a table without shattering, unlike our previous plastic spools. However, this bends or deforms the cardboard face of the spool leading it to unspool with a wobble. The spool adapter can solve this issue by providing a solid circular rolling surface to interface between the spool and spool holder.
