1kg/2.2lbs 1.75mm 3d Printer FIlament Roll Holder for Afinia or Up Printers

thingiverse

A while ago I purchased a couple of those cheapo rolls of 3d printer filament off ebay. The spool holder Afinia provides won't hold a roll this large so I downloaded one off here and have been using that. It's been OKAY, but the quality was really poor and didn't hold the spool quite right, so I took a stab at making a spool holder that borrowed many of the traits from the original Afinia one, but was a bit over engineered to hold the larger, heavier roll. It's been working great so I thought I'd share it with all of you! I took measurements from my printer to make it, so no promises, but I'm fairly confident it will fit your Afinia or Up printer. If not, let me know and I'll edit the description so others don't get misled. Thank you! A note on making this, you'll need to rotate and angle this in order to get it to fit in the printing bay. Instructions There's no real special instructions to give for this other than that you'll need to lay it down on it's "back" (the side that bolts to the printer's vertical rail), and angle it slightly in order to fit in the Afina's printer bay.
