AMT8 "Dumb" Spool Holder

thingiverse

V1 is now obsolete, V2 is live, please refrain from printing!\r\n\r\nAs of August 6th, I have printed and utilized this spool holder design for several days without encountering any issues. My apologies for the subpar pictures; my printing room receives inadequate lighting! This setup is paired with an AM8 Bowden Mount mounted at a slight angle beneath the spool, functioning seamlessly.\r\n\r\nI highly recommend attaching your rod between the two holders and securing them tightly to simplify installation; consider enlisting assistance from a friend to ensure accuracy. Begin by offering it up, eyeball its position, center punch the mark, drill, tap, then fasten the first holder with bolts to facilitate attachment of the second.\r\n\r\nThis design is specifically intended for use with the UK/EU AMT8 variant of the EMT8.\r\n\r\nA straightforward frame-mounted spool holder (bearing-free) designed for 8mm threaded rod, crafted to provoke reactions from online forum participants.
