Posted · what to do with empty spools

Soon I will have four empty Ultimaker.com filament spools. Wouldn't it be a waste to throw them away?

Any ideas for repurposing/upcycling of the spools? Preferably printable ideas, of course.

    Give them to the grandkids?

    Wrap extension cords around them?

    Build a spindle for them and sell them as a companion holder for those who knit and crochet.

    Sell them to those who do their own weaving.

    Start offering them on eBay to people who are going to be recycling by extruding their own filament from scrap?

    So many ideas, so little time. LOL
