MakerBot Replicator 5th Gen & Replicator+ Spool Holder / Adapter

myminifactory

This design is engineered to seamlessly integrate a non-MakerBot spool of filament, minimizing printer and filament stress. It leverages the existing filament guide tube to ensure optimal performance. The V2 file has been revamped to accommodate the MakerBot large 0.9kg spools, eliminating the need for frequent cartridge system switching and side-mounted spool changes. The outdated design occasionally interfered with the gantry system on certain 5th Gen units and Replicator+ printers. In contrast, the new V2 design no longer obstructs the gantry, making it compatible with ALL 5th Gen and Replicator+ models. This innovative solution is strategically positioned on the left side of the 5th Gen or Replicator+, effortlessly swinging into place to accommodate non-MakerBot spools without significantly increasing the machine's overall footprint. We specifically designed this solution to enable the use of 3D-Fuel filament.
