Hesine M-505 (i3) spool holder

thingiverse

UPDATE January 14, 2016. The design was revised to cut material and make it 25% lighter, conserving resources when printing. Two versions are available for download. A more efficient spool holder has been created for the Hesine M-505 printer, modeled after the i3 design. Simply print this holder twice and attach any spool with an ID between 35-65 to it. In place of nuts, eight-millimeter shaft collars were used for quick spool changes. This modification greatly improves the movement of the spool and reduces the force needed to unwind filament. Print Settings: Rafts: None Supports: None Resolution: 0.3 mm Infill: 30% Notes: The design was printed using PLA. Design Process: The CAD software Solidworks was used for this project.
