Small Diameter Filament Mount for Replicator 2X

thingiverse

A filament spool holder designed specifically for the 2X printer model may also be compatible with the 2? variant. This particular design accommodates a spool with a very narrow diameter hole; however, I've uploaded the SolidWorks part file to facilitate easy editing and adaptation for use with larger diameter spools. My own spool was sourced from RS Components and comprised 300 grams of ABS plastic material priced at £10. The design consists of two distinct parts: a main holder unit and a securing pin mechanism. To successfully print this object, it is essential to employ the use of supports; however, using low-quality print settings should enable completion within approximately one hour. I hope this design meets your requirements. Print Settings: * Printer Brand: MakerBot * Printer Model: MakerBot Replicator 2X * Rafts: Yes * Supports: Yes * Resolution: 0.3mm * Infill: 15% - Hex Pattern Notes: Print with the cylinder facing upwards, and be prepared to remove numerous supports; fortunately, they detach quite easily. The holder unit requires a printing time of approximately one hour, while the pin mechanism takes roughly two minutes to complete.
