Dual Table Top Spool Holder

pinshape

I switch between different filaments on a regular basis, depending on whether I'm using it for work or personal projects. I got frustrated with having to disassemble my old holder every time I needed to swap out filaments, so I designed an easy-load dual spool holder to make the process simpler. You can see in the pictures that the prototype required me to print an additional central piece to stiffen up the upright column. The finished STL file now includes this thicker upright section. This dual spool holder can be printed in two ways: either as a single piece, which would result in a lot of support material, or in two halves. Each half has two locating holes where you can insert locating pins (the STL file for these pins is attached) to align the halves when assembling them together - this is my preferred method for printing.
