Spool holder for Leapfrog CreatR

thingiverse

If you own a Leapfrog CreatR, this simple attachment could save your print. It ensures that the filament spool remains secure on its rotating platform throughout printing. I recently experienced a 8h39mn print failure due to the spool falling off the platform, resulting in no more filament feeding the extruder (see photo). This was because the spool had only a little bit of filament left and wasn't heavy enough to stay put. The Leapfrog team should have thought of this! I've uploaded version 1, as I don't have time to print and test V2. Please let me know if V2 is high enough. Photos showcase V1. V2 vs V1 should use less filament, be stronger, and take less time to print while maintaining the same efficiency (untested). Edited October 15th, 2013: I've uploaded a V2 version with a 13mm hole as requested by Rene (see comments) because there's also a 13mm bolt CreatR version. Visit http://www.reppersdelight.spacymen.com for more information. Print with ABS or PLA, and use support. Attach it to the center of the filament pool's rotating platform (see photo).
