Spool drawer for anycubic spool

Spool drawer for anycubic spool

Description

In my never-ending quest to reinvent every wheel I can, I decided to design spool drawers fro my Anycubic spools (I have an Anycubic machine, so I have quite a few empty Anycubic spools kicking around). Like Hatchbox and a couple of others, Anycubic spools have consistent filament-hole placement, symmetrical, and aligned on both sides of the spool, so it's good for drawering up. Starting from 417paint's Hatchbox spool drawer, I designed two drawers (left and right) to fit one Anycubic spool. The nubs fit into the oblong filament holes. The two drawers fit fairly right to to each other, but the oblong holes allow the hinge-y nubby parts to swing far enough apart that both drawers can swing open fairly easily. Unlike Hatchbox spools, the sides of the Anycubic spools aren't solid, so this isn't a great solution if you're going to use it for fiddly objects and to move the spool around a lot. I might try, someday, to build in some kind of removable cover, or small covers for the holes in the spool, but that'll have to wait for some more creative moment. I've included both .STL and .3MF files. .STL seems more common, but from what I can read and watch, .3MF may become standard in the foreseeable. They're also smaller. Anyway, the files are identical. Pick whichever set is your favorite. Or one of each. Go nuts.
