Spool Holder for Loose Filament

youmagine

This design relies heavily on the work of others. The Arm, Hook, and Hub originated from Jensa's concept here: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/adjustable-heavy-duty-filament-spool (which was itself inspired by Thingiverse). Cor3ys designed the base in this post: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4498-first-print-straight-out-of-the-box/?p=38596 I adapted Cor3ys upper side part to lengthen it and include a tube for the shaft's insertion. The Hub was modified to increase the hole size and incorporate a longer tube for stabilizing the hub on the shaft. A custom-made shaft was also designed to fit - why purchase 2 meters of pipe when only 175mm is needed? Additionally, I created a base for the spool holder and two spacers to center the filament wheel accurately.
