Z42 Prusa Mini Side Spool Holder Variable Height

prusaprinters

<p>For my application the stock spool holder for the mini didn't work out well. So here we have a side spool holder that I designed to reduce the Mini's overall footprint and make changing filament easy and convenient.</p> <p>This version has a foot to hold it in place. The foot included is set for a Prusa Mini at stock height. If your mini is not at stock height you will need to scale the Z height of the foot in Prusa slicer to accommodate for the height of your printer. Once you have the appropriate height foot, I would glue it in place with some CA (super) glue.</p> <p>I also have a design for stock height printers that doesn't need the foot here: <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/41474-z42-prusa-mini-side-spool-holder">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/41474-z42-prusa-mini-side-spool-holder</a></p> <p>You will need:<br/> 2 M4x14 bolts (for the extrusion mounting)<br/> 2 M4 3030 extrusion T nuts<br/> 1 M4x18 bolt (for the spool Holder rod)</p> <p>Links to parts:</p> <p>Bolts: <a href="https://amzn.to/3mMrHfj">https://amzn.to/3mMrHfj</a> (it's an assortment of small Metric bolts, nuts and washers)</p> <p>T-Nuts Assortment - <a href="https://amzn.to/304OyZW">https://amzn.to/304OyZW</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed all parts in PLA at .2 layer height, variable layer heights with 3 clicks of smoothing; most importantly 3 perimeters and 25% infill.</p> <p>For the foot I printed and installed the arm then took a measurement to adjust the foot Z scaling.</p>
