Description:
So, i needed a spool holder, whipped one up in rhino. rev 1 didn't hold the velleman spools i got at Microcenter(First national chain i know of to sell filament, which is awesome!), so i remade it. This can accommodate a spool that is less than 8.5" in diameter and less than 3.75" wide the inside of the spool needs to be at least 1" in diameter, but you could modify that if you so desired. I used the feet on the spool to lock into the base plate tha i also had my printer 's feet locked in, just with a pressure fit. I used the Lasercutter that is at the Baltimore Hackerspace to make one and finished it off with a 6" piece of pipe that was lying around.
