filament stand - support for oversize spool

thingiverse

I acquired a massive 2kg spool of filament that dwarfed my standard 1kg spools by three times its width. To accommodate this behemoth, I enlisted the expertise of 3D Dave (https://www.thingiverse.com/3D-Dave/about), who provided me with an ingenious extension for the central spindle (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3122343). This extension perfectly complements a custom end support that enables seamless operation with the modified spindle. The entire assembly now rests atop the power supply case, where it is elegantly anchored by a sturdy piece extending into the spindle for added stability. To prevent any unwanted movement, I designed tapered feet on the bottom piece to be a precise 1mm wider than the case itself, guaranteeing a rock-solid fit that prevents sliding or shifting.
