TAZ 6 Overhead Modular Spool Holder

thingiverse

I engineered this design as an alternative to other view overhead spool holder designs like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1608830. I regularly switch between spools and found it was too complicated for my preference. For this design, I created it so that you can have multiple spools installed all on their own rods to make it simple to swap one out without messing up any other spools. I added a flange to the rod to make installation easier and ensure the supports don't slip. You won't need any zip ties or bolts as the holders should fit nicely into the Lulzbot frame. There are 2 different rod lengths and they should fit typical 1kg and 2kg spools. The 2kg rod is slightly stronger to accommodate additional weight. Print 2 end holders, and however many rods and dual holders you want to go in-between. It was printed on a Lulzbot Taz6.
