Spool Holder for Robo3D (extra wide)

thingiverse

I recently purchased a Robo R1 and one of the first things I printed was a custom spool holder, thanks to Thingiverse's 188820 design. The original spool holder is sleek in its simplicity but unfortunately doesn't accommodate my larger spool weighing 2.3 kg of filament. I decided to recreate two key components to increase its width by 50 mm, allowing for smoother handling. If you're looking for the rest of the necessary pieces, please refer to the original design on Thingiverse (link provided). To make the most out of this upgraded spool holder, I've included autocad files, giving you the freedom to customize it as per your preference. However, there's an important safety note to keep in mind. I would advise against leaving a heavy spool hanging from the upgraded holder for an extended period. The design is probably not robust enough to support heavier loads, such as my 2.3 kg spool. A safer option would be to print something else and take the spool off, at least temporarily. For lighter spools weighing up to 1.5 kg, the upgrade should suffice. But if you have a heavier spool like mine, it's better not to push your luck. If there's enough interest in this design, I plan on developing even stronger legs for the holder in the future.
