Easy Swap Spool Holder for V-Slot

thingiverse

This is a Simple Swap Spool Holder for V-Slot. It's designed specifically for the Full Bear Upgrade on Prusa Printers. However, if you have another V-Slot Printer, it should also fit your machine. I've tested this holder with 1kg spools and smaller, but I'm not sure how well it holds heavier spools than 1kg. There are various holders to choose from, and they're easy to swap out when you need a different one. To assemble the holder, you'll need a backplate, screws, and the holder itself. If you want the roller version, you'll also need 20 small bearing parts. I mounted mine using a rubber band for added stability. If you use the roller version, make sure your spool has a hole at least 45mm in diameter to fit properly. A spool with a 51mm hole can be placed on without removing the cap. You can also adjust the cap to make it free-spinning or lock it in place if the spool tends to unwind. Feel free to remix my design, just be sure to give me credit and use the same license as I do =). I've included an f3d file for Fusion 360 so you can modify it easily. It would be great to see a photo of your finished print! Have fun printing this and stay tuned for more models from me! You can find me on other platforms by checking my profile. Please note that I'm not responsible for any damage or injuries caused by this model, as it contains small parts that can be swallowed.
