Ridiculously simple Ultimaker Reel Mount

thingiverse

Create a simple, removable alternative for the standard Ultimaker reel mount that accommodates various reel sizes and reduces friction. Cut a short piece of 1/2" ID PVC pipe, measuring your widest reel's width plus 25mm (1"). Easier assembly with slightly chamfered ends; use it as a guide to drill #32 holes in the PVC for a 1.25" #4 bolt and nut. Securely lock the pipe into the base or remove it for transport. Attach the tip upside-down on the floor, then insert the pipe's other end. Remove the stock mount plate, replace with your new base, and secure using original bolts. Line up holes, insert #4 bolt, and tighten. Print parameters: 1mm top/bottom, 3mm wall, 20% infill.
