Makerfarm Prusa i3v Spool Holder Extension

thingiverse

I've got some extra-large spools of filament that won't fit in my Makerfarm 8" Prusa i3v's standard spool holder, so I built an extension to make them fit perfectly. --Update-- I've upgraded the base to have a cutout for any screws getting in the way, and made sure it still fits securely on your stock vertical members. --Update 2-- Now I've created two new versions of this extension: a short one that stays far away from the Z-Axis rod, and another with an integrated tool holder. I've also included a top piece designed for large rolls of filament, cutting through the center just right. Instructions This thing printed out great on my Makerfarm 8" Prusa i3v using ABS at a fine layer height of .20mm and some moderate infill - exactly 20%. It was super easy to do since I used the exact same vertical supports as in the stock spool holder, and hardware that you've probably already got.
