Simple sample spool holder

prusaprinters

<p>This is a holder for a sample spool of filament. Customisable for the hub and spool diameter and the number of arms.</p> <p>You will need to print one hub and three arms (or as many as you've customised), and screw them together with M3 bolts. I found the holes were the right size to hold the thread and didn't need a nut, but your results might vary.</p> <p>Drill some 2mm holes in the arms to hold the filament ends.</p> <p>Update: V2 has fixed a couple of dimension errors I was having, and I've put holes in the arms for the filament ends, angled a bit for a better hold. Also, the arms are looser and I had to use nuts on the bolts.</p> <p>It's inspired by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2033513">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2033513</a> but I needed a bigger hole.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Balco (i3 clone)</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>n/a</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
