Hexagon SIX Spool Holder "HIVE" v1

thingiverse

!!!!!!! UNTESTED AND IN DEVELOPMENT !!!!!! I have developed a 6-spindle holder for 1kg spools. The holder is rotatable around its own axis and each spool is removable separately. It's designed to be mounted directly above the printer. The spools come with filament inside, which rolls onto the "cage" of the holder and goes straight down. This is the first version, and it's possible that changes will be made. If you have ideas for improvement, feel free to send them my way, and I'll check if they're feasible. All parts should be printed in ABS or PETG with a 0.2mm layer thickness. The arms and cage require support; the other parts are designed to print without support. Required parts: 1 x Ball bearing 6202RS (35x15x11) 12 x Ball bearing 6200RS (35x10x9) - larger bearings also work, but should be 10mm in diameter 6 x Aluminum tube 10mm outer diameter, 11cm long 6 x Aluminum rod 8mm outer diameter, 8cm long 24 x M3 stop screws 18 x M3 flat head screws 28mm 6 x M3 flat head screw 35mm 3 x small plastic screws 1 x M8 lock screw 60mm 1 x M8 nut (no stop nut) 1 x M8 washer 22mm 1 x M8 spring ring
