Bolt-On Filament Holder

thingiverse

I designed this bolt-on filament holder for 3D Printers because my own 3D printer's built-in spool holder was too small for larger spools of filament. To resolve this issue, I created a separate holder that can be easily attached to the outside of the case using just a few well-placed drill holes. This allowed me to take full advantage of the secondary filament hole provided by the manufacturer for running filament outside the printer. This 3D printed component enabled me to keep my entire printer as a self-contained unit, rather than having a separate spool holder taking up valuable space on my worktable. By attaching this bolt-on holder to my printer's case using #10-32 screws, I was able to achieve a tight and secure fit that provided ample support for the holder.
