Ultimate Dehydrator Horizontal Filament Spool Holder (100% 3DP)
Description
I needed a horizontal filament spool holder for my Westinghouse dehydrator. Unfortunately all of the designs on Thingiverse have big flaws. Most are incredibly over-complicated, and require external purchased parts like bearings, screws, nuts bolts, marbles etc. Or they were designed without 3D printing in mind, requiring support material, having very thin walls, and bad printing orientations. This doesn't have to be complicated! It just needs to hold a filament roll horizontally in the middle of the dehydrator and let it spin with relatively low friction. In this case, that low friction is achieved with the incredible mechanism of... a cone resting on a smaller cone! This design is literally just two parts that print flat on the build plate with no support material, and doesn't require any other parts. The base cone locks into the center ring of the dehydrator. Then, the top sits on the base, and the filament spool sits on top. Then just feed the filament out one of the holes in the dehydrator top, or drill a little hole for it to pass through.
