Flashforge Finder side spool holder

thingiverse

I really loved the original design, but I encountered some issues with the filament guide breaking on me a few times. To overcome this problem, I switched back to using the rear holder for a while, but eventually, I decided that a side mount solution was the better option for my setup. So, I set out to create my own version of the idea. The first iteration stayed true to the original design, combining the components into one model and making it slightly stronger. However, with the second revision, I added a second side hook to increase stability. Additionally, I included a small catch in the filament guide that prevents the PTFE tube from sliding down and causing feed problems. Although this revised design requires supports for the hooks during printing, it seems to be working quite well overall.
