Collapsible Spool Holder

thingiverse

I have this little <a href='https://3dprint.com/9708/portabee-go-3d-printer/'>Portabee Go</a> as my go to travel printer, unfortunately figuring out how to hold a spool in a hotel room is surprisingly challenging. I created <a href='https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2180428'>this spool holder</a> a while back for this specific purpose, but it was heavy, bulky and didn't really work as well as I was hoping. So I created this one, which works even with the big 1Kg spools. To assemble you will need - 8x M3 x 20 socket screws - 8x M3 square nuts Notes - The four socket screws on the spindle do not need to be "tight" they only need to be screwed in sufficiently for the spindle to hold on the R/L sides and in the base (or unscrewed by about 4mm). - The assembly is designed for 0.15mm clearance between any two parts, if your printer can't achieve this you will need to sand parts down. Enjoy.
