My Not So Custom Spool Holder

thingiverse

I've been frustrated with spools that don't turn correctly on my other holders or can't be held securely, so I created a solution by modifying the "Head" and "Nut" of my favorite large spool holder to accommodate bigger spools. This new design features a 135mm diameter opening, allowing me to run any spool I want. After testing it for two months with ten spools from four different companies, all of them fit perfectly. It's designed to be mounted on a 1/2" wood dowel or similar. This is a remix of a remix of a remix, feel free to modify it yourself! I printed this design on my Robo 3D R1 ABS + PLA Model printer at .3 resolution for speed, but next time I'd print it at .2 resolution for better thread detail on the bolt.
