Click "remix" or click herehttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2155476 Print with 100% infill Matter control users are reporting issues with "Voids" This was found to be that users were not rotating the stabilizer bar before print Select EDIT, then Click Rotate Y (2 times) OR (for Cura and Matter Control) print with supports. There are SO many spool holders available out there with so many great designs, I learned a lot by using many of them but each didn't quite get there for me personally. After months of "I wish" and "if only..." I designed "Pergo's Spool Holder". I did really like the ideal "Robo3D Top Mount" by "ThorMJ" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215996) so much that I cut off the ends and included it in my design. He had the right curve and a great quick to connect top mount.. Thanks ThorMJ. My pre-Reqs for my Design: Easy to print Snap together install Everything can be printed except the 22mm OD ball bearingshttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010GI2ZJY $7.99 Prime These bearings are very smooth ABEC 3 would be good too. Sturdy Quick Filiment Changes, no nuts or bolts to touch during a filament change Smooth Glide filament path. Stylish and not bulky (after all I have to look at it ALL the time) :) Has to fit a small diameter filament roll. being it's 30mm, Reels with a 32mm hole works. Have to be able to change filament in the middle of a print job if I want to do a color change mid print without moving the carriage. Well this i what I came up with. I'm providing the original source 123D files, so please, when you submit something, do the same! When printing the 7.9mm rod, you should use glue or your fav bed adhesive method, I think 100% in-fill on the rod is best. Print the rod slow with 100+ fan. Everything else is up to you. (I did 100% on all the parts) I've been using this holder for about 3kg of filament without a problem. For sample filaments I use one of the many sample filament spools available and run the 7.9mm rod through the sample reel. Print each part once and print Sides.stl twice. Do not print the "Assembled" file, it's just an aid to let you see how everything comes together. When snapping the sides together, (you printed 2 of them Sides.stl) I keep the sides that were on the printer bed to the outside. Comments please! I will change if you find issues.
