Filament spool Carousel/ Prusa i3 mount & free standing base

Description

Edmonton 3D Prints Web Page: Www.Edmonton3Dprints.Ca This Is A Concept Of A Spool Holder For The Prusa I3. With The Carousel Design Along With How It Will Be Situated The Filament Will Be Directly Over Head Of The Hotend For Easy Un-Spooling.The Bottom Plate Was To Be Adapted To A Flat Bottom With Fastening Capability To A Flat Surface. The System Is Stackable As Well. All Spools On The Carousel Are Accessible And Easily Changed Out. There Is A Slot In The Spool Plate To Put A Small Piece Of Sponge To Wipe The Filament As It Is Fed Into The Hot End. It Is Capable Of Using A 5/16" Threaded Rod Down The Center And Z660 Bearings For Add Stability Or Just The Pivot Pins Could Be Used. I Decided Only Four Days Ago To Enter This Challenge And As This Is Only My Second Design From Chicken Scratch On A Piece Of Paper To A 3D Object. I Have No Formal 3D Design Training And Have Only Recently Started To Dabble In Design Aspect Of 3D Printing. So Found It To Be A Little Bit Of A Learning Curve. The Main Issue Was That I Was Going To Have A Printed Product For The Entry Deadline. Test Prints Came Up To Large For Some Reason. I Thought It Was My Design Capability And My Work That Was At Fault. I Did A Work Around To No Avail. But Here Is The Real Problem....... And It May Also Help A Fellow Novice Designer. Https://Forums.Adobe.Com/Thread/1397645 I Will See This Project Though To Final Product... As I Do Like The Design :) Bottom Line, Thank You For Your Consideration And Here'S Hoping For A Win ....As I'M Also Vary Low On Filament.
