Filament holder with low pull resistance for XYZ da Vinci Pro 3-in-1

thingiverse

I made this holder to have the least possible interruptions when printing, since i had a filament snap, and then had to redo a big design. This design will enable you to attach unofficial filaments to your printer and then give the least pull resistance to the feeder. Also the hole into the printer is angled to give a better path to the feeder with minimal bending. I have uploaded a complete version, and a seperated version that needs "gluing" afterwards. I am printing in ABS which makes this easy, but I see no problem in printing this in PLA. The file for the backplate was to large for thingiverse so i reduced it using Meshmixer. I therefore have not tried to print the attached file. Please give feedback if it is faulty. I made this specifically for my da Vinci Pro 3-in-1 printer and thus it fits nicely for that printer. Feel free to adjust the design for your printer type if needed. As a little side note I added text above the filament entry which reads: "Speak friend and enter", which is a reference to the Doors of Durin from The Lord of the Rings universe.
