Printrbot Simple Metal Spool Holder and Handle (UPDATED)

Description

Update 2015-07-12: Check Out My New Filament Spool Wall Hangers. They Work Perfectly With My Spool Spacers. Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:923016 Here'S A Spool Holder For The Printrbot Metal Simple, Using 1/2" Pvc Pipe To Do The Heavy Lifting. This Works With 1Kg Spools And Smaller. It Also Works Nicely As A Handle, With And Without A Spool Of Plastic On It. See Pictures For Ways To Hold. Also Check Out My Simple Metal Base And Fan Shroud: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:366324 Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:412395 Update: 2014/10/09. I Uploaded A Spool Spacer For Monoprice Filament, Spool Diameter Approximately 38.15Mm. Update: 2014/06/30. The Previous Version Of The Holder Was Too Narrow To Fit Wider Roles Of Plastic, Such As Those Sold By Bumart. I Widened The Holder So That It Will Fit Spools Up To 95 Millimeters Wide. I Also Uploaded Spacers To Fit In The Center Of The Spools So That They'Ll Rest Nicely On The Pvc Pipe Axle. These Spacers Print Much Faster Than The Previous Tower Spacer. See Pictures To Determine Which Spacers You Need. Let Me Know If You Have Spools With Other Inside Diameters, And I'Ll Make A Version For Your Spool. Update: 2014/05/13. I Removed The Body With The Custom Supports Because Users Reported Bad Experiences With It. Use Slic3R Or Cura To Add Support Structures.. I Also Uploaded A Version Of The Axle Holder With The Printrbot Logo Engraved In. This Logo Version Requires Support Structures. The Logo-Less Axle Holder Does Not. Update: 2014/05/18. I Wanted To Center The Spool On The Axle, So I Made A Spool Spacer, Designed For The 1Kg Spools Printrbot Sells. [They May Have Since Changed Manufacturers. Measure Before Printing.] If Your Spool Inner Diameter Is Around 51Mm, This Spacer Will Fit. See Instructions For More Info.
