RepRap Fisher Extended Filament Holder

thingiverse

Printing wider filaments often leads to the original reel falling off the RepRap Fisher's filament holder. To fix this issue, I designed a replacement holder that accommodates wider reels while improving the overall design. The new filament holder is based on the standard RepRap Fisher filament holder, which can be found here: https://github.com/reprappro/Fisher. Key modifications include extending the main axis of the holder, cutting away half of its lower section for easier mounting bolt access, and adding feet to keep it perpendicular to the printer side. Measurements show the original holder is 64mm long from base to top, but I've created longer versions in various lengths for wider reel support. Although only the longest design has been printed and tested so far, consider trying others based on your specific needs. Update: An additional bar design has been added with increased bottom cutaway for greater filament holder rigidity.
