Drybox universal spool holder

thingiverse

This is yet another part of my ongoing process of designing a drybox that will mount conveniently on the side of my Airwolf HD2x printer. This tool has potential to be extremely useful for others besides myself. I've nearly completed drafting up a sealed Plexiglass box design with a hinged door and a versatile spool holder. So here is what I have thus far in terms of the spool holder. The goal is that it will be able to accommodate the three most frequently used spool inner hole diameters: 0.78 inches, 1.25 inches, and 2.05 inches. These holders won't rotate or turn over. The smallest diameter will be suitable for small spools with Nylon materials inside them. It is meant to be reinforced with a strong 4 3/4-inch by 1/4-inch bolt that offers substantial support. The other two spindles will simply slide right on top of the smaller one. I will publish the complete drawings for the entire box once I have finalized my work on it. Take a look at the sneak peek picture showing what I'm aiming for in terms of the design and layout.
