Ultimaker 3 Extended Spool Holders

thingiverse

I customized my UM3 Extended with custom wings, as the rear spool holder wasn't suitable for my setup. The printed wings you see in the picture were created on my MakerGear M3 IE using a .5 nozzle, .4 layer height, and a .6 layer width, all controlled by Simplify3D. If you use these settings with 4 perimeters, the spool portion comes out very smooth and strong. The width of the spool part is 4.8mm (or .6 x 8), and the same goes for the base portion. I printed both PETG and ABS wings to see the differences in these materials - they both turned out nicely and the parts are very strong.
