BQ Spool Holder For Tevo Tornado

thingiverse

Really simple, fast to print, Spool holder that supports the BQ, and normal, filament spools. It's designed to fits on a TEVO Tornado Control Box - It should fit other similar sized control boxes too. Some of you may have noticed that the BQ Filament spools have weirdly small center diameters. I broke another spool holder trying to **force** the BQ filament spool, hence why I've designed this holder. I ended up using a printstik stuck down with double sided tape to hold the BQ filament while I quickly printed this holder. There are 2 main parts, the side and the straps. You need to print : - 2 x Sides - 4 X Straps Each strap has a hole that lets you use a self tapping screw to hold the parts together. You need a tube / pipe to hold the spool on - I used an old copper pipe from a hot water tank cut to the right length. There's a 3rd stl, if you print 2 of these they will fit on the ends center pipe - at least the copper pipe I use to hold the BQ spool. I mainly added these to hide the limescale that had built up within the pipe. Hence why the hot water copper pipe was available, so much limescale had built up it had to be replaced! It also works with **normal** sized filament spools too - By adding the 2 Straps on the underside of the sides, moves the centre of the spool tube up sufficiently so that there's sufficient space for other "normal" spools to spin freely too.
