M3D Pro Spool Holder (Customizable)

thingiverse

This support is designed specifically for the M3D Pro printer, sitting on top of it above the extruder, and utilizing the printer's chassis as a base. These are brackets alone. Two sets are required, one for each side, after which you can add any dowel, rod or tubing of your choice to complete this setup. Use the customizer on the right-hand side and select the diameter of the tubing you plan to use for the vertical risers and top axle, and the model will adjust accordingly. Be cautious not to make the vertical fit too tight, as this may cause the brackets to split apart. The vertical risers can be any material that makes it tall enough to clear the printer and accommodate your spool size, with a minimum of 3 inches recommended; I personally use 6-inch vertical risers. The top brackets hold a horizontal axle, which can easily lift out for filament changes. The horizontal top tube needs to be exactly 8.5 inches in length and can fit multiple spools.
