Update 2: - A new mini version has been added, without an angled base, which is 30mm shorter than the compact version and 6mm narrower, yet still accommodates standard-size spools. Update 1: - The design now includes a 10mm shorter version with a thinner, angled base. - Tolerances for the connecting bar have been increased. This spool holder boasts a minimalist, streamlined design in a retro style that incorporates an integrated filament guide and prints from only two pieces. Minimal material is required to print this spool holder. I created this filament holder because I needed a more dependable way of feeding filament while printing, but the existing designs I found either used too much plastic or required additional components, such as bearings and bolts. As a result, my spool holder was designed with the KISS principle in mind to achieve lower costs and greater accessibility.
