Dual Table Top Spool Holder

cults3d

I frequently need to switch between different filaments depending on whether I'm working or using it personally. Fed up with having to disassemble my old holder just to make this change, I designed a simple load dual spool holder. **Note that the prototype shown in the photos required an additional central piece to be printed and attached in order to stiffen the central upright. The final STL file now includes this reinforced feature.** There are two options for printing this holder - it can be printed as one single piece or divided into two halves. Printing it in one piece would generate a lot of support material, whereas dividing it into halves is a more practical approach. Each half has locating holes that can be used with locating pins (attached STL file) to align the two pieces when assembling them together, which I prefer for printing purposes.
