Prusa MK3 Spool Holder Side Mount Adaptor

thingiverse

I no longer wanted the weight of the spool resting on top of my printer so I designed an adapter that lets me use the original spool holder that came with my MK3, which adapts it to mount securely on the side of the printer. A simple print part, I printed mine at 0.2 and 20% infill in PETG and it's now nice and strong. The part pushes onto the original MK3 spool holder and then clips firmly onto the side frame of the printer base as shown in the pictures. It only uses one side of the spool holder. The compactness of the spool holder when attached should also mean it will fit inside a LACK Enclosure since the overall footprint size of the printer doesn't change. (But I don't have an enclosure so maybe someone can try it out and let me know) I also added a filament guide that can be viewed at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3001932 Please post a make if you print one; it's always great to see what others have made.
