Hi Guys,
Since this forum's been a bit quiet lately, I thought I'd ask, what have you printed out lately?

I've done some snowflake christmas-tree ornaments, and a screwable jewellery box.

Printed a filament spool.

Have since managed to kill a stepper driver. Waiting on some more to arrive.

Do you find that filament spool to be useful? I printed the exact same one out myself, but I found that there was too much friction (too many tight turns) for the extruder motor to pull the filament off the spool.

I think I need to re-jig it so that the spool is turned around 90 degrees, and feeding straight down into the extruder.

Haven't really had a chance to print with it yet (dead stepper) but it rotates very easily.

I did actually print a different spindle attachment (the one with the filament guide on it), so it could be that it's slightly different in size, and hence turns a lot easier.
