Filament Tube Holder - MakerBot Replicator 2X

thingiverse

I made this to help prevent the filament from unspooling and winding around the spool holder between my Replicator and the spool by holding the filament away from the back of the case. It seems to work quite well for me. I also found that when I tried to put it on the tubing holder, that I needed to slot all the way around the the holder and not just the slots I added. A little filing or cutting works great. It's was designed as a tight fit. Instructions I printed it at 100% fill (you want it strong because the clips are steel) with raft and supports. The supports were easily cut off and the center hole cleaned out pretty well using a flat tip screwdriver. A drill would work well too, just so the Replicators tubing fits in. I designed this in 123d Design and added the file so anyone can modify it as needed.
