This is an adjustable spool holder for your 3d printer (Ender 3 or Ender 3 clone, like the Voxelab Aquilla). The stock spool holder on these printers is just a too-small tube. It does the trick but allows the filament spool to rock back and forth and feed filament to the print head in "spurts". This adapter centers the spool around the holder and allows is to turn and dispense filament evenly. Does this improve print quality? Not sure, but if the jerky motion of the stock spool holder bugs you like it does me, this will make you feel better.

This adapter fits nicely around the stock spool holder and adjusts to the size of the hole on different filament spools (annoying how there's not a standard hole size, right?) The design uses two cone shapes and a screw thread that allow the cones to fit snugly into any size spool hole.

The base of the adapter is split and clips together around the printer's spool holder. No disassembly of the stock spool holder is required.
