Desk Filament Spool Reel

thingiverse

Compact Filament Spool Holder. I built this mostly because I wanted to design my own. This spool holder has a small footprint. It uses an 8mm threaded rod down the center (may require a bit of widening to make assembly easier. I used a 21/64 drill bit to widen the hole on my prototype.) To assemble, print two side pieces (of choice), bottom length(s), and two of the spool core pieces. Requires 8mm threaded rod and nuts/washers. If you have any ideas to improve the design shoot me a message. NOTE: the new pieces added have not yet been tested/printed (side_4_piece, the reel with cutouts, and the bottom piece) UPDATES 26/01/2017- New Spool created with cutouts and a larger diameter center hole (9mm)- New sides created with a more aesthetic look (and cutouts).- Increased diameter of the rod hole to 9mm so you can take the spool off easier- Changed to a universal side piece so you can change the width of the holder to accommodate wider spools (and/or multiple spools) Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: 20% Notes: I used 20% infill for my prototype. It's pretty stable.
