An update to this model has been made on 22nd January '17. Users provided valuable feedback which led to improvements such as increasing the number of threads from one to four, with slight size adjustments to ensure a smoother operation. Holes were added to the holder and nut for design purposes and reduced printing time. In version 2, the model requires a 110mm m6 rod instead of the previous 100mm rod. The middle drum's length was extended from the holder for easier bolt insertion without searching. This spool filament holder mod is designed for a Velleman K8200 3D printer, which has been in use for nearly two years. Only two additional parts are needed: 2 626zz bearings. The length of the m6 rod used is approximately 100mm. Suggestions for further improvements are welcome, and apologies for any grammatical errors.
