Multiple Spool Holding Frame
thingiverse
So I started thinking about everything I had going on with my machine's tower and how it contributes to weight gain. As I dug deeper, I suspected that the weight of the spool, tools, etc., adds sway because it increases mass, causing it to rock back and forth. So I designed this frame to hold multiple spools so you can swap colors quickly. I added corner supports for extra rigidity, but it doesn't need much since it's just holding spools; the main thing I like is that it takes all the weight off of the tower itself. You'll notice my front and rear z-brace - I'm obsessed with getting my machine to absolutely zero wobble, and this was just the next step in that pursuit. I hope you guys can enjoy it as much as I do. The main thing I want to know is if there are any other ways I could possibly fine-tune it further without building enclosures or modifying the top of the tower to fit inside. I'm also looking for general input. This frame uses 1/4-inch tubing, which can be either PVC or metal. I had to print at 101% because the sizing was ever so slightly too small. I used super glue to hold all the pieces together, but the corner mounts will snap on without requiring any adhesive - I just used it for added stability.
