Filament Roll Stand

thingiverse

As my UP Plus 2 printer came equipped with slimmer spools, I decided to construct something entirely new to accommodate them properly. A separate holder seemed like the perfect solution and could be built using various materials readily available in my hobby room. To build this holder, you'll need 12mm rods (I've used 100mm ones) and some strips measuring 10x10mm in size. Here's what you'll require for each side: 2 long strips of 160mm x 10x10mm 1 shorter strip of 120mm x 10x10mm My strips, at 9.8mm thickness, might necessitate adjusting the scad file for different dimensions. I've since updated my holder in February 2015 to incorporate a "roll" with an increased diameter, allowing for smoother rotation and retraction of filament rolls.
