Make 2" to 3" roll paper adapter

Make 2" to 3" roll paper adapter

2002-05-18 by rikyu99

Hello
(This message has been crossposted in a couple other forums.) This 
has been a subject many times here, but I found a simple 
solution for my epson 7000: 
I had some heavyduty 3" mailing tubes with friction fit end caps. I 
used the caps - found the center in the cap, and used a hole saw to 
cut a 2" hole. The caps then snap fit into the 3" core paper roll, 
and the existing spindle for the 2" roll paper fits nicely in the cut 
holes. 
One would want to have the heavier plastic end caps to have the most 
longevity, especially for the weight of paper for a 44" printer.
best,
