Robox spooler

UPDATE: I have significantly revised the files originally uploaded here. My apologies to anyone who has downloaded them, but you should discard the original files and use these updated ones. Reels of filament for the CEL-Robox 3D printer are supplied on Smart Reels, which incorporate an EPROM that informs the printer about the type of filament loaded and all necessary print settings. However, if you buy filament from a different supplier, it must be reloaded onto a Smart Reel. Having purchased reels from various suppliers, I needed to reload them onto the Smart Reels. This spooler is likely to be useless for anyone without a Robox 3D printer, but I've uploaded it for interest anyway. I aimed for the simplest of spoolers and abandoned the idea of stands. Instead, this sits flat like on a tape deck. The two stand holders locate by fitting the locking pins, which do not actually lock, but restrain the two holders from moving apart. A more permanent method would be to screw the two together at this point - the holes are 11mm (you must provide the screws). The Robox holder stand has raised features that replicate the finger slots in the reel - facing outwards when fitted on the printer. The Robox spooler slots into the other side and is used to turn the reel when loading the filament. I have abandoned the need for a turning handle, as it's really a two-handed operation and easy to turn custom spoolers by hand. I've now added companion spoolers for ColorFabb reels (740gm) and MG Chemicals reels (740gm). Although I made individual base holders, they can each use the same one. The top turning spooler is unique to either ColorFabb or MG Chemicals, so I created one for each of these. The MG Chemicals reels have screws on one side, which should face the base and not be present on the top. The Robox spooler stand allows either a left or right assembly for winding filament onto the Robox smart reel. All filament must be loaded anti-clockwise so that it feeds clockwise when fitted on the printer. Elements of these parts could be used for someone else's design for a Robox spooler if desired. Please note that the top spoolers for both ColorFabb and MG Chemicals only fit one side on each reel. Print Settings Printer: CEL Robox Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: normal Infill: 10%
