Sovol SV06 Gantry Spool Holder Tush

thingiverse

Since I started 3D priniting, I have never been really happy with the various spool holder designs. For the past 7 or 8 years, I have been using a "Tush" design found on Thingiverse which was working "ok". Filament dispensing worked fine but adjustability to various spool width and sturdiness gave much to be desired. So! I finally ended my procrastination and after going through a bunch of various designs, I finally ended with another variation of a "Tush" design. My printers are very carefully calibrated and aside of the threads clearances can be printed as it. You might notice a 0.1mm gap between the 2 components of a "Tush". It is by design as I wanted the fasteners pressure to apply to the bearing core. For the large 16mm Adjustment Nuts, I have applied a 102% in X and Y axis. For the smaller 10mm Guide Nuts. I used 107% in X and Y. The needed hardware is as follow: 4x 608ZZ bearings (make sure they are degreased and roll freely) 4x M5x20 machine screws flat head 4x M5 nuts Happy printing Mod with filament guide: If you want to try (it works very well for me), print 1 of "SV06 Spool Holder Tush - Tush with Guide v1 - Tush" and "SV06 Spool Holder Tush - Tush with Guide v1 - Filament Guide". I used M3x5x5 threaded inserts inserts and M3x12mm button head screws. 2x M3x5x5 threaded inserts 2x M3x12 button head screws p.s.: while I was at it, I also made a variation for "desktop" use which I use for my Ender 5 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6039285
