MatterHackers is happy to provide the Village Plastics Filament Koil, and to enable anyone and everyone to take part in the master spool movement we have created our own spool designed specifically to accept the KVP Koils. Print one of each half, load your Koil and screw the two halves together. We get the best results by removing the cable ties before fully tightening down the spool, just be sure to secure the filament end first.

By Popular Demand
3D Printing is an amazing place to be today because of the strong and forward thinking community we have built. Over the past several months, that community has rallied behind the concept of a print-at-home spool and manufacturer provided refill packs, instead of a throw away spool each and every time. As the community has grown, so too has the amount of empty spools we all generate, and when Richard Horne released the first version of his Master Spool design he answered the question many had been asking - why do I have to keep buying more spools? It makes sense to have a single, reusable spool that can simply be refilled when the time comes, but for the idea to truly work the suppliers in the market have to take part as well. It was made clear to us at MatterHackers that the community cared about this idea, and when we decided to create this offering we found Village Plastics. They have been part of the 3D printing industry for some time, and were already developing the KVP Filament Koil. With our powers combined, MatterHackers is now the place to buy your Master Spool filament refills, in the form of the KVP Filament Koil.
Questions
What Infill density would you recommend printing this with? Thanks.
Anyone else have issues getting the parts to screw together? I printed the files on an Ultimaker 2+ with PLA and the tolerance seems to be too tight. Might have to try annealing the inner one in the hopes that it will shrink enough to fit.
Does this have the same dimensions as Richard Horne's MasterSpool? If not - why deviate? The whole point was to rally around one size design. Would love to know before I buy refills since I have a few Richard Horne spools already.
Will you be offering more filament types in the near future? Would love to see this in a variety of materials.
This is wonderful and I'll be using it. Let's make a 2kg spool as well !!! Thanks!
Hi, what can I do if my print volume isn’t big enough to print the spool?
What are the dimensions of the spool or what is the minimum build volume of a printer?
