Updated: Parametric Replicator Spool Holder

thingiverse

This Openscad script enables custom spool holder printing for Makerbot Replicators. Adjustable width, depth, and offset make it compatible with various spools. The design requires no support for enhanced strength. An update on April 5th added a collar to strengthen the base of the holder, plus a customizer and print settings. To use without Customizer, modify script variables SpoolHoleDiameter and SpoolDepth, while other parameters remain unchanged. Printing wall support and tube separately is an option. The design doesn't need support for printing. Makerbot spools' sample STLs are included, but be sure to mirror the wall support in RepG for right-side Replicator spools. Rounded top edges of the wall mount facilitate easier spool spinning. Suggested print settings include 35% infill, .27mm layer height, 2 shells, 80 feedrate, 100 travel feedrate, raft on.
