Spool holder Weedo X40

thingiverse

I didn't like the original spool holder because it was putting lot of weight on top of the printer and it vibrated a lot, so I designed new spool holders to be directly behind the extruder. It reuses the original T nuts and metal axis of the spool. The only thing you will need is 4 M4 screws longer than the original ones, to have enough plastic thickness to clamp against the printer frame. Personally I used M4 x 25mm screws, but you could change the CAD file if you have other lengths. The spacer mounted on the axle keeps the spool away from the bed. This design is compatible with all my 1kg spool : up to 65mm width and 200mm outer diameter for 70mm inner diameter. But you could also change the CAD file if you want to use bigger spools. If you don't know how to modify the CAD file, you can ask me a custom version for your screws/spools.
