Hanging Spool holder

thingiverse

I was unable to locate a suitable hanging spool holder for my enclosure, so I designed a new one myself. The spool is mounted on the hangers using this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2070272. I created two versions of the hanger. Version 1 is shorter and can hold 1kg spools. Version 2 is longer and can fit 2 kg spools, such as Prusa ngen filament. To get both sides with the slot facing in the same direction, you must mirror one side. The sides can be printed without supports. The M8 nut knobs for fixing the spool on the holder have hexagon holes for M8 nuts. I've also included an STL file for a nuthole tester - a small part with equally dimensioned hexagon hole so you can quickly test the fitting of your M8 nuts and adjust the extrusion if the fitting is too tight or too loose. The nut knobs require supports on the hexagon hole. The optional spacer frame makes it easier to mount the hanger sides. After screwing one side in place, you can use the spacer for positioning the second side, no ruler or measurement required.
