Filament Spoolholder

thingiverse

Needed a simple spoolholder for filament bought from a supplier I usually don't buy from. As it turned out the spool where packed with filament to the degree that it didn't roll on my ordinary spoolholder with bearings in the bottom. OBS! The max width of the spool is 70mm. So the wider china spools won't fit. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Notes: It's pretty much obvious, Print 2xStand.STL 2xAssemblyarm.STL 4xAssemblyknob.STL 1xRollholder.STL Stands are printed in PLA and the rest in ABS. What I planned to do was glue the assemblyknobs to the assemblyarms after insertion with aceton. But it isn't necessary, it's tight enough. Clean the parts and grind with sandpaper if needed. Then knock it in all the way with a hammer or similar, Be carefull so you don't have to do a re-print. Now press the knob in from the other side with the wedged side inwards and you're set. You might have to grind the spoolholder a little extra to make it easier to change roll.
