## UPDATE 09/06/2019 - NEW v2.0 DESIGN ## I've created an updated version of this design! Get the new design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3680561 __________________________________________________________________ I really liked the spoolholder concept made by itech3dp (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2790290) but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my needs: -Must be able to hold ClasOhlson Universal 1kg filament spools (Center opening 52.8mm) + The original Flashforge Finder 600gr spools (Center opening 20mm). -Must be easy printable on the Flashforge Finder and easy to assemble/glue. -Must have sufficient clearance, so the raiser-legs don't rub against the extruder belt. -Raiser legs must have a snug and exact fit where it clips on the Finder, so that the structure stays in place with no "rocking back and forth". I therefore ended up completely drawing this spoolholder from scratch in Tinkercad. Through lots of prototyping and trial-and-error, I finally got it right. Two drums are included, one for each size spool. Easy to change spool - just lift the drum out of the spoolholder. The smallest drum has a lowered spot on the middle, so that the spool is kept at the center of the axle. If you make this design, I would appreciate it if you upload a picture of it! Enjoy!
