Zyltech 5kg spool holder

thingiverse

I love the convenience of Zyltech's 5KG rolls, but I've had problems with the filament spool jumping off the mount when it gets about half way down the roll. I created this to solve that problem. It fits in the center of the spool and leaves a one millimeter gap around itself so it doesn't touch the filament spool, only helping prevent it from coming off if it tries. Print two, one for each side of the spool. The spool holder needs to get moved in about 20 millimeters so there's about a five millimeter gap on either side of the spool (see photos). It requires four M3 screws and four T-nuts. Bolts in from the inside of the square. EDIT: I added another version as a suggestion from another user. Zyltech_spool_mount-OVAL.stl - this has oval slots instead of the "ice cream cone" style holes in version one.
