GOODesign is a design studio established in Seoul, Korea by a representative who has been active in product design and 3D CG field for 20 years. As a design company that pursues a reasonable and differentiated digital design, it has always presented a new direction through working with clients such as Hyundai Motor, Siemens Korea and beiersdorf. This time, we have put out the life product for 3D printing by utilizing various technique design based on the shape of the Class-A surface. These products are especially the result of deep research on the 3D printing dominant shape that can not be mass-produced using a mold.
People criticize 3D printing for not being environmentally friendly. And they particularly criticize the spool(an item that helps supply the filament into the 3D printer) for not being recyclable which results in producing plastic waste. Perhaps because of such criticism, there is a current trend among shops where they sell the filament without the spool. Since the spool is not given, you would have to print your own spool to use these filaments. However, the spool designs that are currently available are heavier than conventional spools and are very difficult to print on a small 3D printer. Therefore, I have designed a spool that is easier to print and eco-friendly.
The following are the feature of this design:
1. The spool I have designed is very light, so it consumes less filament to print. Most mold production spools weigh more than 200g and current 3D printable spools weigh more than 230g.
2. This spool can be printed on very small 3D printers. I have designed the structure of this spool to be foldable, by applying my folding technology. The spool is designed to be printed on a 3D printer with a build size of 150mm in width and 150mm in depth. When the spool is assembled after the print, the size will be the same as a normal spool and you would be able to fill in enough filaments.
3. Of course, the spool is sturdy enough. Existing folding structures were designed so that when it first starts printing, at an unfolded state, the size of the print is large. But once you start folding to complete the print, it becomes smaller and more sturdy. On the contrary, the folding spool is designed so that when it is first printed, the size of the print is small. However, once you start folding the print, it becomes larger and less sturdy. To tackle this problem, I have utilized the existing folding technology and the honeycomb structure, which is the strongest structure on the planet, to design a spool that is light and extremely sturdy.

Any chance you could create a Bambulab compatible version?
I really like this design -- I have a Prusa Mini, and I've tried a bunch of master spool designs because my print bed is 180 x 180, which limits what I can do.
Which is why I got so excited about this design -- it will fit on my bed.
My troube is that I use Fiberlogy filament. Those spools have an inner diameter of 52 mm and the filament is made to fit around a 97 mm circle.
It's really the first one (52 mm) that's causing me trouble -- because my spindle is 50 mm to match when I have non-master spool filament.
I've made some mods to accommodate 52 mm and also to increase tolerances and am testing them now.
Does the license allow me to share those on printables?
Hi gdalya,
The filament from fiberlogy should fit with our spool, however there might be some spaces left over.
You currently do not own a license according to our system. If you later purchase your license through patreon, yes you are able to sell our designs on cults or mmf. However, as company policy, we do not allow our models to be modified and we do not allow our paid products to be freely shared on printables.
Thank You
The bumps around are not a good idea for example in my filament dryer or something similar. Otherwise a good solution
Hi theklaus, thank you for your insight. Are you using Bambu?
No, not yet, but the filamentdryer SUNLU S2 in which the spool is rolling
Would this be suitable in the Bambu Lab AMS? Or would the bumps/ridges cause an issue on the rollers? Curious if you had tried it yet. I may buy it and try it myself.
Was wondering the same thing.
I'm quite sure that the outer bumps will not work well with the AMS.
NO! This will not work with the Bambu Lab AMS. The outer rim must be smooth and even for the rollers to be able to spool the filament out or in.
I'm confident that Goo will come up with a new design that meets the needs of rim-spoolers.
Hi christopher.h.teague1648, sorry but no it does not work with Bambu Ams.
Hmm..Well, I will use it with my other printers! :)
