Simple and secure filament spool

thingiverse

I have admired the very elegant design of this filament spool holder: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10219 And I've printed several and used them. However I can't make them accurately enough to give me a secure unit without having to use glue or 'welding rod'. So I've designed this simple spool holder. By giving away elegance the weight is reduced from 121 gms to 73 gms, the print count from 10 to 4, BUT the hardware count rises from 0 to 6 - that is six 3 mm x 10 lg button head cap screws. BTW the hub on which the spool sits can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:142050 Instructions Pretty easy to print. Fairly obviously the hooks should that laid down to print. On my Ultimaker I printed the hub in one print, and the three hooks in a second print. I should say that it took quite a bit of stuffing around to persuade Cura that the print table could accommodate three hooks!
