Large 5KG Spool Holder

thingiverse

I required a spool holder that matched a 5KG roll of filament perfectly. After struggling to locate one for purchase, I decided to create my own. The frame was cut from 3/8 inch acrylic, the pipes were 1 inch PVC cut into 8 inch sections and the caps were secured with hot glue. A support pipe for the roll can be crafted from any material with an outside diameter of 1.25 inches or less, as long as it can bear approximately 11 pounds in weight. I am aware that not everyone has access to a CNC Router, so I included an STL file for the frame as well. If printing the frame is your chosen approach, I recommend using 3+ walls and at least 25% infill for optimal results. The printed frame remains untested.
