ColorFabb reel holder

thingiverse

My CEL Robox 3D printer is equipped with smart reels that seamlessly transfer filament information when loading a reel. However, I often find myself craving a color not available on the smart reel but offered by ColorFabb - particularly with their innovative color-on-demand service. To bridge this gap, I designed a custom reel holder for ColorFabb to be used in conjunction with my Robox one (thing:2959385). Since the ColorFabb reel center lacks any locating features, I created a centre-piece that is precision-fitted by force. The spokes are engineered to allow for very slight pressure to ensure a secure fit, although printer-to-printer tolerances may necessitate a minor increase or decrease in this tolerance. For my print, I utilized PLA, and the file functions perfectly. The spigot should be printed upright with the knurled end resting on the print bed. While I opted not to use a brim, it's ultimately up to personal preference. The holder itself should be printed upright with the base sitting on the print bed. To ensure optimal results, feel free to revolve as necessary before printing.
