Spool holder for FT-5

thingiverse

I had an old 18-inch sprinkler riser pipe collecting dust in my closet which I decided to repurpose as a spool holder. It wouldn't quite span the full width of the frame, so I required a slightly extended bracket to attach it securely. Furthermore, I wanted it to be sturdy enough to hold multiple spools at once if needed. To create this attachment, you'll need to print two separate pieces - one for each side. Additionally, you'll also require an 18-inch long pipe, rod, or shaft with a diameter of around three-quarters of an inch. I designed the bracket in Fusion 360 specifically for my Folger Tech FT-5, but it should be compatible with any similar printer with some adjustments to the length of the pipe.
