3D filament holder for M3D printer

thingiverse

This is my custom-made spool holder specifically designed for the amazing M3D printer, currently on Kickstarter. My friend already received his and here it is next to mine! Check out the campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/m3d/the-micro-the-first-truly-consumer-3d-printer#project_faq_86355 I'm super excited to get this compact printer that I had to create this as a tribute to its design and to keep myself busy while waiting for it to arrive in December. I 3D printed it at work on a 3D Touch machine, using about 400 grams of PLA. I carefully studied the images from M3D's website (http://themicro3d.com/) to match the design as closely as possible. As an architect and illustrator, I modeled it using ArchiCAD, which I believe is the world's best architectural BIM software with STL output capabilities from version 17. (https://www.graphisoft.com/) I hope you enjoy printing it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Stay tuned for another version that can hold three spools side by side, which I plan to complete this week. Unfortunately, I won't be getting a printer myself due to budget restrictions, but feel free to suggest other designs for me to create! My test piece at work went to a lucky colleague who I convinced to get one.
