Filler Peg for Shelf

<p>I had printed out the original Filler arm and did not like how it operated. With 608RS bearings, it spun too freely, and kept unwinding my filament spool. With 608ZZ, it was too stuff, and would just friction roll.</p> <p>Also, the lip at the end did not seem tall enough, and with little force, the spool could come off the end.</p> <p>I had printed out a different spool holder arm for a different part of my metal shelving, and it worked well. So I simply combined them!</p> <p>You can use the STL as-is, or you can modify the scad file. However, if you modify the scad file, you will need a local copy of the '3DPNFilHoldGuide.stl' from thing:3020026.</p> <p>This takes the scad file from thing:2391667, tweaks it slightly, and allows you to hook it up to the Filler set.</p> <p>It is not 100% perfect, but it gets the job done.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: filament spool holder, metal rack, metal shelving</p> <h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Summary</h3> <p>I had printed out the original Filler arm and did not like how it operated.
