Filament Spool Bracket and Hub Set

thingiverse

Human: Looking for a more refined approach to holding the spool, beyond what comes standard with the TAZ Printer, was a key consideration. \nThe bracket attaches seamlessly onto the printer frame, thanks to six M4x40mm Screws and one 5/16x6 inch screw with a square base and rounded head. \nThe Spool hubs are designed to accommodate most of the popular spool sizes for filament. Instructions Print the bracket and hubs, then use the 5/16 screw to secure the bracket to the printer frame. Install the spool hubs on your spools and attach them to the screw on the bracket. In some cases, swapping out the screw that fits the spools may be necessary, depending on whether metric or imperial measurements are used; a possible substitution is an M8 if working with metric units, while an alternative might be a 5/16 inch screw if choosing imperial. If a 5/16 screw is chosen, some holes within the hubs may need to be drilled to fit. To assemble, one nut and one compression washer should be secured to the bracket, while a flat washer can serve as the outer mount. On each of the hubs, place an additional two flat washers for extra stability, topped off by an added nut to firmly secure the spool in place. Optional design features include spacers, allowing for potential modifications to fit specific needs.
