Ultimachine spool holder for Makerbot Thing-O-Matic

thingiverse

This is a clip-on holder for 5lb Ultimachine filament spools. It's designed to fit into one of the square holes on the top of your Makerbot Thing-O-Matic and hang off the back. No screws or hardware required! There's an indentation cut out just in case you have wires going through the hole you'd like to mount this on. I've uploaded the .lxo modo file. Instructions I recommend printing with 100% infill, or close to it. Those 5 lb spools are heavy! Also, you will need support material to print this. To set up or optimize Skeinforge's support material generation, follow the instructions at http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2011/06/27/makerbot-microtip-using-the-support-features-in-skeinforges-raft-tool/ You will need to select "Use Raft" and "Exterior Support" on the Gcode Generator window.
