No Frills Spool Holder Flsun i3
Description
Edited 24.June 2018 Added spool flange. Suits spool with 57mm bore diameter, using 20mm dia PVC pipe as axle. There are over 5,000 Spool Holders on Thingiverse. Its impossible to choose a suitable one because the descriptions are very scant. Files need to be downloaded to get the essential dimensions. This one is designed to bolt onto the top rail of the I3 style 3D Printer. Its the bare essentials and takes spools upto 200mm diameter by 65 wide. The base is just 95mm wide x 30mm. It is 140,, high with 5mm thick base and sides. Ribs add strength and conserve material and print time. It designed to sit at approx. 30 degree angle on the top rail, with the extruder on the same axis on the LH upright.(see Photo) I have uploaded the latest version files that incorporate improvements based on trials with the initial prototype. A 16mm ID x65 lg Pvc pipe is used to support the spool. It is held in place with the 2 end caps and an M6 bolt and nut .
