Anycubic i3 Mega S Spool Holder

prusaprinters

<p>I don't like the stock spool holder that comes with the Anycubic i3 Mega S as this one has to much friction. Looking on thingiverse I came across this: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4167075">design</a> from <a href="/novakvlast">Novaklast</a> which i like but i wanted some minor changes to it as when you mount this one, the spool holder will hang over to the right a little bit which might result in falling off during long printing sessions.</p> <p>So i decided to create my own inspired on this design where the mounting bracket has a slight angle to the left so when a spool is mounted it levels out horizontally. I also redesigned the the spool cylinder so the bearings cannot be pushed right through it which makes mounting a bit easier and sturdier.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Parts Summary</h3> <p>I don't like the stock spool holder that comes with the Anycubic i3 Mega S as this one has to much friction.
