Yet another i3 spool mount

thingiverse

Designing something special for someone else is indeed half the fun of this whole creative process. This project involves crafting a custom spool holder to sit on top of an i3 machine. It was printed at a relatively low density level, standing at 50%, simply because that vile yellow filament needed to be used up, no matter what. To make sure everything fits perfectly, the aluminum plate comes in at a sturdy 6mm thickness. Feel free to modify the design for any other thickness you prefer. To ensure it snugly secures an 8mm threaded rod, the part itself takes after the wooden spool holder's familiar shape, which just so happened to be already proven and ready for use.
