Wanhao i3 Big Spool Mount

thingiverse

<body>This top-mount filament spool holder fits reels up to 3kg. It works with the Wanhao Duplicator i3 & clones where the top member is an L-shaped piece of steel (about 50mm deep and 50mm high). Anything, from a threaded rod (from M8), timber dowel, or PVC pipe up to 28mm diameter (a bit over an inch) will work as axle. The original mount only fits a single 1kg spool. This mount lets you fit a spare reel or a 3kg one. The brackets are easily repositioned from the front and don’t interfere with the existing mounting hardware or wiring. Print one each of the left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS) brackets, and two of the (identical) latches. Latches are a bit wider than the mounts and have lead-ins for the reel. Suggest a minimum of three outlines and top/bottom surfaces with 0.4mm nozzle. You’ll need four each M3x12 to 20mm long screws, washers, and nuts. Put the nuts into the brackets, then put the latches loosely on the brackets, put the brackets on the printer, adjust the spacing then slide the latches up and tighten the screws. Cut your axle to length (265mm), fit the reel(s) and you’re in business. Works with:</body> - Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus - Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus Mark II - Aldi Cocoon Create Touch - Monoprice Maker Select Plus - Monoprice Maker Select v2.1 - Malyan M150 i3 - Aldi Balco 3D Printer PS: - The two uprights are mirror images of each other. - Yes, the 3kg reel in the pics was damaged in transit so couldn't work with a reel-roller design. - Yes, it's a bit bloody late... this printer is ancient but refuses to die. This one has a 0.8mm nozzle and is used to print big lumps of plastic fairly quickly. It's so loud it got relegated to the laundry and really makes me appreciate quiet steppers. - The red feet come from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2981233 and are printed from high impact PLA not TPU. They don't fall off the like the original ones and don't mark the surface. </body> <hr /> <body>Check out more designs from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/department_nine/designs/" title="D9"> Department_Nine</a>!</body> <hr />
