Spool Holder Mount for Prusa i3

thingiverse

This mount along with spool holder designed by RamonSeda, titled "2020 UNIVERSAL SPOOL HOLDER", will replace the spool holder that came with my original Purse i3 MK2. The link to the design is below (I've also included the needed files here):\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1860430/#files\r\n\r\nRamonSeda designed the spool holder to fit on 2020 aluminum extrusion, but with this mount, you can slide and lock the holder into place on the top right corner of the Prusa i3 frame. It will not obstruct the printer's operation at all. I also appreciate this design because it reduces filament bending from the spool holder to the extruder.\r\n\r\nTo get started, besides printing out one of each STL file, you'll need:\r\n\r\n2 608zz bearings\r\n4 M8 nuts (use two on each end to lock them in place)\r\n1 M8 threaded rod at least 15cm long (17 cm works well too and is easier to work with)\r\n\r\nBE CAREFUL!! If you cut the M8 threaded rod, make sure to screw in the nuts first. If you damage the thread, it can be tough to get it threaded in further. It's a good idea to check out some videos about cutting threaded rods before getting started.
