Removable Spool Holder for 2020 Misumi Aluminum Extrusion

Removable Spool Holder for 2020 Misumi Aluminum Extrusion

Description

Update 11/29/16: I'Ve Been Using This Thing For Nearly A Year Now, And It'S Held Up Great! Ever Since I Built Jasonatepaint'S Awesome Aluminum Extrusion Ultimaker 2 A Couple Of Months Back, I'Ve Been Using A Irwin Quick-Grip Clamp On My Desk As A Spool Holder... Not Exactly Elegant. I Finally Decided To Actual Fix This Issue, So I Popped Open Thingiverse And Started Looking For 2020 Extrusion Spool Holders. However, Since Part Of What I Love About This Printer Is It'S Portability And Relatively Compact Nature, I Didn'T Want An 80Mm Long Cylinder Bolted Onto The Rear That Wouldn'T Be Easy To Remove When Transporting It. I Decided To Design My Own Spool Holder, And Do Away With Any Sort Of Bolts/Permanent Mounting Entirely And Just Let Gravity Do The Work. The Result Is An Incredibly Sturdy, Yet Very Easy To Remove Spool Holder That Should Work On Just About Any 2020 Extrusion. It Can Fit Rolls With At Least A 30Mm Inner Spool Diameter, With A Maximum Width Of Up To 78Ish Mm. The Small, Mushroom-Esque Piece Is To Lock The Spool Onto The Holder, And Just Drops In To The Main Spool Holder Shaft. I'Ve Included The .Ipt Files Along With The .Stl'S, So If There'S Something You Want To Improve, Please Do So! Alternatively, If You Don'T Have Inventor, Let Me Know In The Comments What Your Suggestions Are And I'Ll Update The Files.
