Qidi Tech 1 Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is a custom filament spool holder designed for use with the Qidi Tech I, accommodating larger spools than those that come standard. Certain spools, such as Amazon Basics models, barely fit due to their size, leaving the stock thread unable to reach the printer's rear nut. This modified spool holder addresses this issue by offering a slightly longer design. It can be printed without supports and was printed with 5 layers on each side and 25% infill for added strength. Although it was made from PLA, the part appears robust despite the material choice. Additionally, printing at a higher temperature (230c) ensured better layer adhesion since appearance wasn't a concern. This spool holder features an M10 thread and can be utilized on any printer or stand that uses the same thread type.
