Spool Holder Cone

thingiverse

I created a smaller spool holder cone because my desired print is too large for BQ PLA spools (45mm inner diameter). The existing design allows me to use different diameter spools (ranging from 45 to 57mm) with ease. For this project, I utilized three regular nuts that came with the ANET A8 printer and one locknut. I mounted these on the original spool stand for added stability. Similar to the original version, you will require two 608 bearings; I opted for 608z for my design. As an aside, I have uploaded the FreeCAD design file, allowing anyone to modify it or offer comments. As a beginner in 3D design and FreeCAD, designing something useful like this spool holder cone has been a valuable learning experience.
