Filament Spool Holder / Arm for P3Steel

thingiverse

This is a filament spool holder for the P3Steel / i3 Steel with notches so you can adjust the position of the spool depending on its size. It works with 8mm diameter and smaller rods. A printable rod is also included that has cutouts to fit perfectly with the arms. For the spool hub that is pictured, see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1405931 Please share your makes :-) Print Settings Infill: Probably 20-30% at least Notes: The rod can be hard to print if you get layer warping (I had trouble with PLA). I printed mine with only 20% infill in ABS. The rod flexes a small bit when a heavy spool is on there but that's OK. Don't forget to include supports, the small slot pins do stick out with a 90 deg overhang. The large holder parts seem to be fine with about 20% infill. Assembly Use an M3 screw and a M3 nut on each arm. There is a slot for the nut. Mount the arms so they are facing inwards (smaller rather than larger) or the provided printable rod doesn't fit.
