Re: Filament Holder

you could use apiece of pipe...

I do this, when the roll has a different size hole on one side!
I use pvc pipe that is a little larger than the pins on the holders. or cardboard roll from centre of toilet roll...

Currently I use a long bolt to slide through the provided filament holder. I also use a nut on the end, just in case the bold slides out of the holder, but I don't need to because of the length of bolt I used, plus it fits snuggly.
