Auto-Rewind Spool Holder for Anet A8

prusaprinters

<p>These parts (and a 200-mm M8 rod) will put an auto-rewind spoolholder on your A8. This will maintain tension on retract so that your filament spools won't get tangled. See the original thing for the auto-rewind bits you'll need to complete this. (Use one of the SpringRound_* springs; the tab will engage with the lock block.)</p> <p>You'll also need a 200-mm M8 rod, as the 150-mm rod that's part of the A8's stock spoolholder isn't quite long enough. (175 mm would work too, if you can get it at a good price.) Two 608ZZ bearings are also needed.</p> <p>You could also just use the spoolholder by itself...but where's the fun in that? The design is similar in concept to <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2141857">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2141857</a>, but it is an original, from-scratch design.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anet</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>A8</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2 mm</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>The spoolholder components presented here are printed in 3D Solutech real-blue PLA with 20% infill.
