Customizable Filament Holder for 45mm & 90mm spools
Description
This design is made by user @HugoHuge but I added a new filament holder brace so it can fit 45mm spools (3DPNFilHoldBrace_45.stl) This design solves all the basic necessities: • Fits almost every object with a flat top surface and printer frame when customized. • Can easily hold the weight of 1+ kg spools. • Fits between other spools if necessary. • Now with NEW brace for 45mm spools. In addition to above criteria, I've optimized for: • Print quality: Friction-less rolling is achieved by adding bearings, no pulling required by extruder stepper motor. • Economic design: I've added holes in the guide to reduce material use and shorten print time without compromising strength. Since the guide has the longest printing time, I separated the guide from the brace. Just print multiple braces, and move the brace to the desired spot. • Ease of use: Just place the guide in the bracket, hang the spool on the guide, and off you go. If there happens to be another guide right next to the one you want to use, you needn't move it out of the way. You can place the spool on top of two guides. • Ease of printing: All objects are placed in such an orientation that requires the least amount of support, has the least amount of friction when using the holder and still get really strong parts! You can find a brace made to fit around a 3/4"x 1.5" and many other braces for several printer brands and makes. You will need two 608zz bearings (can also be found in old skateboard/longboard wheels) or print the ones you can find in the download files: • Amazon Spain: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B07VDRZDSC/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_xRnIEbZ75PH8D UPDATE (07/08/2020) Brace for 45mm spools (3DPNFilHoldBrace_45.stl) fixed, thanks to @themacboy for reporting the problem ^_^ UPDATE (04/04/2020) Added main brace for 45mm spools (3DPNFilHoldBrace_45.stl) UPDATE (27/07/2018) Added brace for Prusa i3 Mk2 & Mk3 Added brace for Anet A8 UPDATE (30/07/2018) Added brace for printers using 2020 extruder aluminium (It's named CR10-Ender3) UPDATE (31/07/2018) Added wall mount UPDATE (05/08/2018) Added brace for the standard Creality3D metal plate included with the CR-10, Ender 3 and CR-X (Thanks to the user Sw0rd for helping me design this one!)
