K2 Spool HolderBehold, a K2 Spool Holder - a "Heavy Duty" tabletop 1KG and 2.5KG  filament spool holder.  A K2 Clip "Heavy Duty" Desktop Spool holder/feeder, designed to be connected with 1/2" EMT Conduit. It's scalable, so you can build this to be narrow or wide to hold multiple spools.This is not a simple print in place holder, you can already find dozens of those, I wanted to create something different, something very sturdy. I have also added a snap-on filament guide / bowden tube feeder, and end caps to accent and express your own flair. As an after thought, I did add the option for you to print your own "conduit" rods, I recommend you test print/fit a small section and scale the larger rod as needed.  FYI, conduit is what the cool kids are using.  Get your Prusameters… Post your Makes!If you like this project, please don't forget to  ❤ Like  and  ★ Rate!   Print Files / Details:K2SpoolHolder-1KG_v1.0.stl - Main supportsK2SpoolHolder-2.5KG_v1.0.stl - Pictured in Grey, LARGE 2.5KG Spool Holder Main Supports (Compatible with all other parts below from the standard 1KG spool holder)Finishing Touch:K2SpoolHolder_Feeder_v1.1.stl - Filament Guide (also accepts a Bowden tube)K2SpoolHolder_ConduitTopPlug_v1.0.stl - Finishing touch to your top spindleK2SpoolHolder_Conduit_BottomPlug_v1.0.stl - Plug those bottom holes with styleNEW - K2SpoolHolder_Conduit_BottomPlug_26mm - Optional Bottom plug: Longer to allow for less precise conduit lengths.K2SpoolHolder-Slippery_v1.0 - Optional sleeve your cardboard spools will rotate even more freely.

I cut all 3 pieces of EMT conduit at 145mm length.  You could go a smaller (like the 3D Printed Rod at 125mm) for a tighter fit, but it's nice to have the wiggle room.
