R3D Filament Holder Upgrade

thingiverse

This simple upgrade will allow you to use larger spools in your R3D mini. I am now able to fit in 1kg spools with no problem. This means less time spent changing out spools and more material for your buck when you order filament. This part is meant to replace the plastic black tube that comes with the printer's spool holder. Pop out the included bearings and pop them into both ends of this upgraded holder. Then just put it back on the bolt, and secure it with the stock washer and nut, then you're good to go. To put a larger 1kg spool on you just have to tilt it to get it past the bed and onto the holder.
