Anycubic i3 Mega Spool Holder with filament guide (remix)

<p>This is a remix of "Spool holder for Anycubic I3 Mega" by kurioso (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2647030">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2647030</a>)</p><p>I really like the original, but the parts were a little loose and I had problems with the spool not staying on and filament getting tangled.</p><p>I've made the following changes to the arm</p><ul><li>moved the spool closer to the Z-axis mount</li><li>tightened the z-axis post clip so there is less play</li><li>thickened the spool holder arm slightly so the cylinder fits tighter</li><li>modified the brace to be at w 45 degree angle rather than horizontal at the top so it prints without supports and still provides strength near the top of the arm where the twisting will happen.</li></ul><p>and maybe the most important change, I've added a filament guide. The original cylinder fits this arm so I did not include the cylinder model.<br>The cylinder from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2681737">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2681737</a> also works well. I have one of each.</p><p>Since I had issues with the arm twisting and spools coming off of the original model, I wanted a bigger lip on the spool cylinder. I didn't want to print another cylinder so I modeled a small lip piece to glue on the original. I've included this part as well.</p><p>I noticed someone asked for kurioso's fusion 360 model. Since I converted the original arm to a solid to make my changes, I've included the step files as well.</p><p><strong>Update 2021-12-31:</strong> I was unable to find the two referenced cylinder models on PrusaPrinters so I have added the stl files for them as well. These are unmodified copies from the original makers.</p><h3> </h3><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer:</strong></p><p>Anycubic i3 Mega</p><p> </p><p><strong>Rafts: </strong></p><p>Doesn't Matter</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Doesn't Matter</p><p> </p><p><strong>Resolution: </strong></p><p>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p> </p><p>20%</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: 3D Printer Accessories</p>
