Printrbot Simple Metal 100mm Spool Holder

thingiverse

I've designed another spool holder for the Printrbot Simple metal, and I'm excited to share my reasons why. Recently, I acquired a few spools of filament that were too wide to fit properly on the existing holder, prompting me to create this one. As with previous holders of similar design, caution is advised when printing tall objects. The spool may become caught by the stepper motor as it rises due to the z-axis movement. In future iterations, I plan to address this issue and optimize the design for better performance. This custom spool holder draws inspiration from my earlier designs that are unfortunately scattered across multiple online platforms. Once I locate the original files, I'll make sure to share the source and link back to Thingiverse. **Instructions** I utilized Slic3r with the default Printrbot settings file, printing at a 0.2mm layer thickness. As it turned out, no additional support was necessary during the print process.
