CTC, Flashforge, Wanhao, Spool Base

I created the Ultimate Rotating Spool Holder for my Makerbot Rep 1 and was impressed by its performance, so I adapted the design to work seamlessly with my CTC printer as well. To do this, I redesigned the base of the holder, and the results are fantastic. Alongside the redesigned base, I also designed a matching mounting nut that fits perfectly into place. Additionally, I recently added a quick-spin cap for holding spools securely in place. This innovative design utilizes a flange nut embedded directly into the cap. As you attach the spool to the holder, simply spin this cap onto the bolt to secure it firmly, making adjustments a breeze. It works exceptionally well and is used on both of my printers without any issues. The design I used for my Ultimate Rotating Spool Holder can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:119016. If you're interested in the intermediate-length spool that I created specifically for this holder, it's available at: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:302340. Finally, if you want to take your setup to the next level with a reliable nut and threaded mounting system, be sure to check out my remixed version here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:295102.
