UpMini Filement Holder for the new Spools

thingiverse

New 3DSystems NZ 1kg spools feature a wider load and different hole size, which may not fit the supplied holder. To resolve this issue, I used designs from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27748 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6021) to create a FilementHolderUpMini, two spindleBearingAdapter, and two bearingShims. Assemble the parts as follows: insert an M6 nut into the Filement Holder, screw in an M6 thread (about 10cm long), and add another nut for secureness. Place shims in the bearings, then pop them into the adapters. Attach the first adapter to the thread, followed by the filament spool, and finally the second adapter. Secure with a large washer and nut, and continue printing uninterrupted for an enjoyable experience!
