PrintrBot Simple spool holder

thingiverse

Here's a spool holder for my PrintrBot Simple that gets the job done. It doesn't rock too much when it's loaded with a spool of filament, so that's a good start. Only time will tell if this little thing holds up to regular use and heavy filaments - I'll update you all once it's been through its paces. --- How To I designed this holder using my CTC 3D printer on some tempered glass with a layer thickness of 0.25 mm. The base is made from PLA while the rest of the structure is printed in ABS plastic. There's even a NinjaFlex component at the center that helps keep everything snug and in place. Sorry if this one seems like it's been simplified too much - my lack of thread design skills holds me back, but I wanted to keep things as straightforward as possible!
