MK2 Spool Holder Extension

thingiverse

Updated - You now have better tolerances on your work in progress. Consider adding a small amount of grease to ensure it slides smoothly, or try printing with a slightly lower extrusion multiplier if necessary. This print requires the Spool Holder by jterranella, which you can find at Thingiverse under http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2184790. I printed this excellent spool holder and had some issues with my wide spools fitting snugly. To resolve this issue, I created an extension using Tinkercad (https://tinkercad.com/things/409aEgTd5UK) by combining the threads from a nut and a bolt. This adapter allows me to use it for normal-sized rolls or add the extension when working with wide spools. However, I do not recommend using this adapter with heavy rolls weighing more than 1KG, as the plastic holding the holder to the printer might become too weak under excessive weight. Print Settings: * Printer Brand: Prusa * Printer: Prusa Mk2 * Rafts: No * Supports: No * Resolution: .2MM * Infill: 30% * Notes: Use a small amount of silicone grease (you can see what I used in the photos) to prevent binding and ensure smooth movement.
