Lulzbot TAZ Top Spool Holder

thingiverse

I created a spool holder that attaches directly to my TAZ 4 without any extra hardware needed. It's more robust than necessary but slides into place seamlessly on the 20mm railings, functioning perfectly every time. I chose to use a standard 3/4" dowel which simply drops right in. To make it even better, incorporating some 608ZZ bearings sounds like an awesome idea - just waiting for the chance to try that out when I have them available. To build this, I printed it using PLA with supports in place and measured then cut a piece of oak dowel specifically to fit inside. My measurements indicate it came in at about 120mm but be sure to check and measure exactly what your printer requires for this part. If you think you can come up with ways to improve this, let's hear them!
