Balancing Spool Mount for Prusa Mendel
thingiverse
To attach a filament spool on a Prusa Mendel, you'll need the 'M8 spool mount v1.stl', two 'M8 top sm v1.stls', and two 18mm M8 threaded rods. Secure these parts together and connect to a z-axis motor mount end using a 15mm M8 threaded rod and a spool bearing system (like the parametric one from thingiverse). However, note that this design may not be very stable; at 37°C and 2 kg weight, it broke in testing. An upgraded 'fortified spool mount' is available on Thingiverse for a safer option or use less weight.
