Monoprice Maker Select Filament Spool Rod

After my Monoprice Maker Select arrived, I was a bit let down to discover that the filament spool holder included with the printer wasn't large enough to accommodate a full-sized spool. With a 3D printer at my fingertips, the obvious solution was to create a new one. This is simply a quick little project I designed in Fusion 360 and is spacious enough to hold a full-sized spool. The threads may be a bit stubborn at first, but if you can manage to get the bolt securely fastened and just screw it on and off a few times, the threads should work themselves out and they'll slide smoothly and easily. I printed this in PLA with a 0.2 layer height and that seemed to work quite well, although it's not as visually appealing as it could be. Included in the zip file are the STLs for the rod itself and the bolt to secure it to the machine.
