SPOOL HOLDER

SAVE - MATERIAL design
Doesn't need SUPPORT
Requires an external stand
Requires an internal rod
4.5 mm internal radius
26.25 mm external radius (it sould fit the most commons spools)

This spool holder is originally made for an Anet A8 printer, but it's fine for every other printer. Basically, it's an internal support for the spool which allows you to make it roll around a central metallic rod. Support for the rod is not included.

That curious shape allows to:

Use less material possible
Print WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT
Have a nice design

Print Settings

Printer:

Anet A8

Rafts:

Yes

Supports:

Resolution:

0.1mm

Infill:

100%

Notes:

The shape of this spool holder allows you to print it WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT.

Instead you WILL NEED RAFT to make it stable and sticking during printing. The 6 internal rays are intended to have an internal raft also if you choose to print it thin. Obviously they're intended to be removed after printing.

Post-Printing

The shape should be simple enough to have a good final result with any printer; probably you will need to manage a little stringing if your parameters are not perfecly tuned.
