Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 Spool Holder (mirror of stock)

thingiverse

This is a filament holder that works seamlessly with the existing stock holder on the Wanhao i3 V2. As I'm sure you've noticed since you stumbled upon this page, the stock filament holder that comes with the i3 will flex and droop, causing your spool to scrape against the surface (whatever your holder is attached to) and put immense strain on the motors of your printer. Instead of completely redesigning a filament holder, I decided to create something to stabilize the stock mount. This is incredibly easy to install and goes opposite of the stock. Just unscrew the nuts, turn the rod around so it slides through the back end of the stock mount, slide your spool on followed by one nut, the printed mirror image of the mount, and the secondary nut. Yes, if you change filament a lot, you might be annoyed by having to remove the side of your filament holder to do so - but it's an extremely stable and simple print that increases the stability of the stock holder drastically. Yes, I've printed this and yes it works! No additional components are required.
