Prusa mini side spool holder for use with storage boxes

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted to have a removable side-mounted spool holder that was compatible with storage boxes for the Prusa mini printer.</p><p>This design includes a remixed spool adapter with the filament guide. It is designed to fit snugly alongside the LCD and small storage box. The compatible spool holder for this adapter can be found <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/49367-prusa-mini-side-spool-holder">here</a>.</p><p>The credit for this design goes to <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/90404-mocmaniac">MOCmaniac</a> and <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/34071-max">Max</a>.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>.20 resolution</p><p>3 perimeters</p><p>30% infill</p><p>PLA / PETG</p><p>NOT tested with PETG - only had PLA left.</p><p>Print with supports, no need for a Brim.</p><p>Move the LCD into an upright position and clip the adapter in the extrusion rail behind it. Then slide the spool holder onto the adapter. As with the original design when fitted it sits approximately 1.5mm off the floor.</p><p><strong>NOTE</strong>: I found that the included LCD ribbon cable was just too short to connect to the LCD when routed inside the aluminium extrusions without risking damage. I ended up picking up a longer cable to make the solution work. That being said, you'll probably be fine with the built-in cable if you don't try and route it inside the aluminium frame.</p>
