Closet Rod Spool Holder , No Sag and faster printing!

thingiverse

Update: I've uploaded V6 which is the final design and I've made a lot of small tweaks barely noticeable but that have made it much better. My first versions I was getting less and less sag and now finally there is truly 0 sag with V6. I still need to upload pictures of the latest version. I printed it in clear because it was the cheapest roll I had for my own use of them but that isn't the greatest for taking pictures so I need to print a colored version just for pictures. Update: I've uploaded V2 which just has 2 small tweaks to make it a little stronger. It only takes maybe 15 more minutes to print I think. I've included pictures of the common Closet rod spool holder on Thingiverse that I originally printed out (the Clear filament one) to compare with my design (Red filament one). While the one I printed from here was nice and I surely appreciate the creators efforts it just didn't work out well at all for me. It took too long to print, took too much filament, sagged really bad with a spool on it, and not all my spools would fit on it as the part that goes into the spool wasn't long enough. Since I wanted to teach myself CAD and try out Onshape I decided to try and create my own from scratch. And that is what I did. I took into account the stress points of the piece and distributing the weight so that my design prints in about 1/2 the time as the top version of this on this site and is much stronger. It will also fit Spools that are up to 74mm wide so the spools that have the center part that goes all the way from one side of the spool to the other like Hatchbox will fit. I only have 2 brands of filament to test with MakerGeeks and Hatchbox so I can't say for certain what other 1kg spools will fit for sure.
