Vector 3 spool holder extension

thingiverse

This is my first print, it was intended as a modification for my printer but realised that anyone with a Vector 3 could use it! It follows the same appearance as the original spool holder but adds 10mm in length to allow for 1KG spools to be housed within the printer enclosure. The holes will need to be bored out a little to allow the screws to fit through. Infill is not necessary but will give strength; the original holder was designed for the supplied spool which when loaded wouldn't weigh as much as a separately bought reel. Edit 13/03/17: Following the failure of the original print I have modified the model. The base has been increased to 4mm thick, including sockets for the nuts supplied with the original holder and reworked screw holes. I have braced the holder further by extending the holder to cover more of the base. I have yet to print this new version, but I would recommend thick top and bottom layers and infill.
