Solidoodle Carry Handle and Spool Holder

youmagine

These two combine a carry handle and spool holder for the Solidoodle 3 into one unit each, left and right, making it much easier to move the S3 around. The integral wire guide keeps the cable out of the way of the moving belt and carriage during operation, too. I had previously printed gsterley's Solidoodle Spool Holder Mk2 and fredhag's wire guide from Thingiverse, but needing to carry my S3 prompted me to create these with a built-in wire guide. Use 3/4" PVC for the spool holder and tension nuts, and filament guide seen in the pictures. It fits the Solidoodle 2 if scaled at 0.8, thanks to a user, and used with 1/2" PVC. However, the tension nut and filament guide won't fit 1/2". To lay the parts down flat, rotate the X-axis by 270 degrees. Print with 20% infill - that's all you need. If the handles slide once bolted together, use two-sided foam tape between the handle and frame. The handles should go all the way to the back frame, and the belt guard keeps the wire bundle from traveling into the belt.
