CR-10 X-Mounted Spool Holder (STRONG)

thingiverse

This is a stronger version of my CR-10 X-Mounted Spool Holder. The old model worked fine for the past two years. I did have an incident last week with the spool tube snapping on me. The tube snapped under the weight of the spool because I thought it would look really cool printed in silk PLA. Yes, it looked fantastic, however... Layer adhesion with the silk PLA's is lacking, and I print those tubes vertically. I removed the old model to extract the broken piece of tube from the mount. While the part was intact, I could visibly see that the two hooks at the top of the model that hang on the top bearing of the X gantry were showing signs of fatigue. I decided to add a few structures to strengthen the model while I had it apart, and this is the result.
