All-in-One Makerbot Filament Holder

pinshape

This is my design for the Filament Challenge. I utilized the dimensions that Makerbot provides on their website for the Spool since I don't have access to one in person. The Base prints quickly and requires minimal supports, allowing it to be used with a pegboard or directly with screws. The Lid folds down to shield the filament from dust and UV rays, while also featuring a hole at the top that enables the filament to be fed into the printer without ever having to remove the holder. Additionally, the Arms are attached after the spool is in place to securely hold the spool to the Base. I included a Pin to easily identify whether the spool contains ABS or PLA.
