horizontal spool holder

Human: okay, there are actually two designs here. these are an easier alternative to the somewhat over-engineered bearing types that can be found everywhere (unless you're planning on spinning your filament spool at racing speeds, you really don't need bearings). one suits the more conventional style filament spools while the other is for the smaller centre-holed variety. both designs are intended for use in a horizontal format and work exceptionally well. additional hardware required for each design: - 5x m4x15mm bolts - 1x m4x30mm bolt - 2x m4 locking nut - 1x meccano 3" pulley (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/meccano-vintage-part-19b-pulley-black-/191196205568?hash=item2c842e9200:g:ipgaaoxy3cjtiGgf) printed in abs but pla will work just as well, the only benefits to abs are that it sands quite well which means you can get rid of all those sharper edges cleanly which makes the spools more comfortable to use. print settings - printer: colido printrite diy ramps1.4 - rafts: no - supports: no - resolution: .4 - infill: 30%
