DaVinci Open Back Project

thingiverse

Wanted to reclaim the open space in the back of my DaVinci. Came up with this. Spool holder should fit spools up to 95mm wide. I may upload a shorter spool holder for people who don't use wide spools and don't want anything protruding out the back. I would recommend printing at a 70% or higher infill so the parts are sturdy. Can probably be printed without supports, but comes out cleaner with them. Also, spool holder requires a single 608 bearing. EDIT: After testing this with a full roll, it looks like the bearing allows too much movement and become unraveled. Eventually I'll redesign the spool holder to not move. For now, I just pushed it against a wall to stop it rotating. Edit2: My spool holder failed after supporting a few heavy full rolls. I tweaked the design to use an 8mm-1.25 x 70mm bolt. Had it laying around from a hobbed bolt I never built. This new design can be printed flat.
