MFS-Mag-Lev Filament Stand

thingiverse

This stand utilizes magnetic levitation to support the filament spool. The weight of the spool remains suspended by a magnetic field, never resting on the stand, thus eliminating any resistance to rotation. The stand can accommodate a full 1 kg spool and is adjustable for different-sized spools. In addition to prints, you will need to acquire 2-20x10mm round magnets and 4-60x20x10mm N52 magnets (available on EBay). You will also require about 4 small nuts and bolts and 8 screws to assemble the project. This design was intended for printing without supports, minimizing post-printing work to mere assembly. To complete this project, you will need to print 2 spool adapters, 2 center spacers, 2 Reg stands, 2 Tall stands (if necessary), 2 Side clamps, 2 pins, 2 Stand mag holders, and 2 spool mag holders. It is suggested that you print 2 extra spool mag holders for setup without magnets.
