V. Simple Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

This Spool Holder was designed in response to an initial inquiry from a beginner, who wanted one 3D printed and shipped quickly. The design goal was to create a very simple, bare minimum version that could be flat-packed and easily assembled by the recipient at home. The base features two 5mm mounting holes for added stability; assembly will require securing it to a printer frame, plank of wood, or other suitable mount. This spool holder consists mainly of three parts: the base, post, and arm. There are two versions of the arm available. The hollow one requires a longer print time, which is why a solid version was also created for a faster print experience. Additionally, flanges to suit different spool sizes will be needed; a sample flange for a 73mm axle spool is included. All parts were printed at a layer height of 0.25mm.
