UM2(+) filament spool side hanger with UM connector

thingiverse

Use any spool holder with "UM2 connector" for this project. It sits comfortably in the middle of the UM2(+) side panel. Tested with PLA, easily accommodating 2kg XL spools. Other materials might bend more under load, but a simple fix is available. Simply loosen the case screw on top to secure the spool holder firmly in place. To assemble the spool holder, split it into two parts and attach them to the build plate using 2x 10mm M3 screws and 2 M3 nuts. Take care not to let the screws protrude from the back side of the UM panel, as they might scratch the surface. If necessary, shorten the screws by 0.5mm using a file. Note that the design is optimized for use with a 0.4mm nozzle and provides a tight fit. Printing with a 0.8mm nozzle may result in an even tighter fit or a complete failure of the top hanger or UM connector. I am currently utilizing two spool holders, one on each side panel, to feed my new Bondtech feeders. Refer to the accompanying photos for further details.
