PETG Filament Roll hole is too big to fit printer.

[Firepower]

Yeah plenty on Thingiverse but for about 2 inch / 53 mm diameter filament roll diameter.

My roll holder has a diameter of 2.94 inches / 74.7 mm.

A block of wood may have to do. or modify some in SketchUp.

what size do you want the insert to be exactly I will roll one in onshape for you but I need all the measurements. Think about it as if you were going to make it..

Thanks much appreciated. I have not had time to learn SketchUp or the other ones yet. Been having trouble just printing but looks like I am getting there by experimenting.

My sizes are:

Filament Roll hole diameter - 2.93 inches / 74.5 mm

My spool diameter on printer - 1.2 inches / 30.5 mm - I guess a little bigger would still be good for this one.

Whatever you can do would be great but do not spend too much time on it.

Thanks

it won't take long but please give me the measurements of the part you want me to model. I assume you want a round part with a hole in the middle.Over all diameter Center hole diameterthickness of the part in MM please

It could just be a cylinder with a hole in it and it would be tight on the filament roll so no sides would be needed. Just to make it simple.

Please let me know if the diagrams are not clear.


EDIT: Sorry I just saw your new post. I'll check it out now. PLEASE SEE MY NEXT POST.

Sorry our posts crossed but what you have done is great. That will work perfectly.

I have been printing something for hours and has hours to go so I will start printing it in the morning.

I wasted years with a generic Cura and I did not select my printer. Since installing Cura from the printer site two weeks ago I have been printing quite a lot and improving each time.

I have a few things printed in PETG like the red one in the photo. So getting there.

Thanks mate for what you have done. Where are you from? I am in North Brisbane.
