Spool holder for Aliexpress i3 Prusa Kit

thingiverse

This is a remarkably simple spool holder for the Prusa i3 kit from Aliexpress. To assemble it, you only need to print two main components that hold the spool - a beam and a guiding loop are entirely optional. I was less than satisfied with the way Cura sliced this model, which is why I would highly recommend using an alternative slicer for this particular model. In my case, the first layer turned out to be a complete disaster due to the fact that the software generated instructions were somewhat flawed. Thankfully, no glue is required as everything snaps into place perfectly. Then simply take out the metal rod provided with the kit and screw it in securely. Enjoy printing! Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: i3 Prusa Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: A setting of 20-25% is sufficient Notes: Make sure to use a different slicer from Cura, as some parts may need to be rotated in order to fit them properly on the printing bed.
