I design custom objects and provide descriptions. Print Details Settings: Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: Standard Infill: 100% Notes: A minimum infill might suffice in many situations, yet for added flexibility while loading spools, I aimed high at a full hundred percent. Design Overview I utilized Solid Works to create this model. It all began by duplicating the central area of a Makerbot spool, thus ensuring a smooth fit with the pre-existing holder attachment. From there, I extended outward to build supporting structures above that could secure additional spools in place efficiently. Subsequent design revisions included cutting strategic holes within its body - this endeavor aimed at decreasing unnecessary plastic use while minimizing any adverse impacts on structural integrity. Despite these careful calculations however, the lengthy duration of the print job indicates a possibility where less could have sufficed just fine without noticeably sacrificing performance standards.
