Velleman Vertex (K8400) filament spool holder

thingiverse

This is a filament spool holder for the Velleman Vertex 3D printer (K8400). No support material needed (at least for PLA printed parts). The STL edition is for a spool holder with the following dimensions: Spool hole diameter: 31 mm Spool width: 77 mm Spool hole "side" width: 4 mm This corresponds to Innofil3D spools (at least the three spools of theirs I own). The spool holder can be assembled with 4 M3 bolts and nuts or with a cable tie, wire or equivalent wound around the middle (the latter is not tested). Please see instructions for information on how to change dimensions to your need or leave a comment with requests for other dimensions, then I'll see what I can do. Instructions You need to print two of these parts (obviously). I sliced them with Cura, 0.2 mm layer height, 10% infill - which seems to be enough for 1 kg spools - PLA, no support and standard slow Vertex setting which took a little more than an hour to print (per piece). Assemble the parts using 4 M3 bolts (preferable with flat heads, length less than or equal to 10 mm) and corresponding 4 M3 nuts or simply a cable tie or similar around the middle (not tested). Included is also the Cubify Invent file used to generate the model. Change the following parameters in order to use other filament spools: SpoolWidth SpoolHoleDiameter SpoolSideWidth
