PRUSA Spool Holder

prusaprinters

<p>This print was remix of the Devilscave spool holder done using SketchUp, Blender and PRUSA Slicer</p><p>A comment was made in the original file on Thingiverse that indicated they wished the original could be printed without supports.  So I remixed this and clipped off the conflicting side and added little more material for strength at the connection point.</p><p>I believe the width of the end was needed for stability if you were to place this on a table or a shelf. </p><p>As Devilscape says, the original design was inspired by the TUSH design.  Within the TUSH comments there was a lot of concern regarding stability when near the end of a spool or if the filament would pinch, and it would pull the spool off the holder.  I solved this by using the original holder as a back up - see photo.  In this photo, the spool rides the bearings but can use the original holder if needed, however I have not experienced stability problems with my use of this design.</p><p>As in the original Devilscave design, the Prusa Spool Holder uses:</p><p>8 M3-0.5x20mm Socket Cap Screws;<br/>8 M3-0.5 Nylon Lock Nuts;<br/>4 608 inline skate bearings.</p><p>My initial print is in PLA and I will determine if I need to print in PETG later as I watch it perform under the weight.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p> </p><p><strong>Printer: </strong></p><p>I3 MK3S</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p> </p><p>Doesn't Matter</p><p> </p><p><strong>Supports: </strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p> </p><p>.2</p><p> </p><p><strong>Infill: </strong></p><p>20%</p><p><br/><strong>Filament:</strong><br/><br/>Polaroid Pro PLA (initial) Black <br/> </p><p><strong>Notes: </strong></p><p>Since this is a remix, it uses the same instructions as the original.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Category: 3D Printer Accessories</p>
