3D printer spool dimensions
3D Printer Filament - Spool Comparison Guide
3D printer filament spools come in many different styles and sizes. Most 3D printers will accept spools that fall within a set of industry accepted standards. Our spools are designed to fit most 3D printers that accept a standard spool size.
Why You May Need a Larger 3D Printer Filament Spool
Larger filament spools allow for continuous 3D printing without having to change out the spool and interrupt prints. A bigger spool is ideal for a larger build that required more 3D printer filament. This may even be ideal for smaller prints if you are tired of having to change out spools so often.

3D printer filament spool sizes
Whilst filament spool dimensions appear to be converging on a standard, there is still not complete uniformity so please take a look at the below table to ensure that the filament brand will work with your 3D printer.
We often get contacted by people looking to find filament that can be used with their 3D printer, the common issues are filament diameter and spool size. So as a result we have started to put together a list of different manufacturers filament specifications. Filament print settings are usually listed on a filaments product listing page so we are not going to repeat those here.
Table of 3D printer filament Spool dimensions

Adam
First class service and support, purchased some spare parts for my printer and they were glad to help with an unrelated problem I was having with the printer, even though it was not supplied by iDig , I would recommend them without hesitation.
Ed
Have had a lot a of problems setting up a 3d printer at our school, idig3d printing contacted me through a forum and have been brilliant ,giving advice and guidance. Thank you

Experienced 3D printers probably determine by eye whether there is enough filament for this part or not) Of course, it is better to know exactly how much filament is left on the coil, but for this you need to know how much each coil weighs.
Or you are modeling your 3D printer and so that the plastic absorbs less moisture, of course, you decided to place the coil mount inside the printer. It remains to understand what width and height the coils are, and ideally it is better to have a 3D model in general in order to lay the optimal mount.
Wow... this is where the fun begins) There are a lot of types of coils, they all weigh differently, have different diameters, widths, and even a mounting hole. And how is it to be here?
I didn’t think of anything better than how to assemble all the coils of Russian filament manufacturers. Weigh them, measure them, make a 3D model and write it all down in a table:
More details about each coil, and about the table as a whole, I tell here:
I tried to combine all the coils known to me into one table. Most likely, I forgot about some Russian manufacturer or did not add some kind of coil.
I would like to sincerely believe that experienced 3D printers will correct me and tell me. And together we will finish this Table to the end)
P.S. Link to the Table with all the characteristics and 3D models in the description on YouTube
