Description

NEVER run out of 3D printing filament, with this design!

Note:  This model contains 3mm filament.  For 1.75mm filament, simply scale the model by 58.3333%

UPDATE (7-21-2016):  It has been brought to my attention by Pinshape staff that there have been complaints about this design.  Therefore, I must let you in on the secret:  PRINTING THIS OBJECT WILL NOT GIVE YOU FREE FILAMENT.  I uploaded this file as a humorous oddity... however, there are people who obviously expected some sort of magic to happen.  That is not the case, my friends, and I thought that it would be quite apparent to everyone.  All apologies to anyone who wasted a roll of filament trying to print this with hopes of recycling it back through your 3D printer.   :)

I used Slicer and was able to print 2 spools at around 52% the original length! (1.75mm)

Am I missing something? What is this? You print your own filament from filament which makes an equal amount of filament as you started with.

Zeo, this print file was not intended for everyone. Your calculations are amazing, and also quite accurate. :)

Help save the Earth... 3D-print your own filament in whatever color(s) and material(s) you love! Hug a tree, or something! :D

I'm happy to hear that it worked for you! The file has been downloaded many times, with not very many comments. I'd love to get the word out, so we can start saving trees and bushes and plastic plants, all over the world. :D

I didn't know that I needed this until right now. Thank you!

Nobody knows that they need something, until it's too late. :) This file gives people the opportunity to replinish their 3D-printing filament, using their choice of 3D-printing filament. Print away, and stock up for the nuclear holocaust. Hillary will have offspring that want your food, water, and loose cash... so I highly reccomend printing this "thing" at full scale, so you can beat the zombies off of you. (Meanwhile, Bill says, "I some 3D printing action. Monica, hide your face... down here, girl. Ha ha... Happy 4th of July, America!")
