Ultimaker 3 Spool holder

These are the official 3D printed Ultimaker 3 spool holder files. The 3D printed part was included in the first batch of Ultimaker 3 printers, manufactured and supplied to our customers until we had injection-molded spool holders ready for shipment. The spool holder was designed to be printed with PVA support material. If you have an Ultimaker 3 printer, you can use the provided gcode files to skip slicing and go straight to printing. These are the same optimized gcodes used by our production facility's Ultimaker 3 print farm to create the spool holders. Check out this timelapse of part of the Ultimaker 3 spool holder being printed with PVA support, and the PVA dissolving in water: When we redesigned the Ultimaker 3 spool holder to include the NFC antenna, waiting for new injection molds would have delayed the printer's launch by months. Instead, we manufactured the spool holders ourselves on an Ultimaker 3 print farm.
