Wanhao Duplicator 6 Hanging Spool Holder EZ
Description
This is a smaller remix of the Side Spool Holder from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1590264 I shortened the length so the weight of the spool presses against the metal frame of the printer rather than just hanging in the air. I made the spool post solid which makes it easier to print. You still need baseplate supports for the rounded sides. I also added a small angle to the bottom of the post to increase the strength. I printed with 20% infill and double walls (0.8 on a 0.4mm nozzle) and it holds up great. UPDATE: I added a right side version of the spool holder. I initially didn't realize there was a difference in the width of the left and right sides of the Duplicator until I hung a left side holder on the right. There is a 7mm difference so I removed 7mm from the length of the "hook" portion. UPDATE 2: I added a new model, Hole Cover.stl, to plug the top hole in the frame. I did this to keep the spool holder in place. After using this spool holder a few times I noticed that the spool holder would slide during prints. The Hole Cover prevents the spool holder from moving along the frame during prints.
