Spoolholder for Cartesian printer with aluminium frame

A spool-holder for Cartesian printers with aluminium frame like the Tevo Tornado, CR-10 etc.

The spool-holder can be mounted at the lower frame (like the original Tornado spool-holder) or at the top of the frame. The spool-holder can handle spools with a width up to 95 mm.

Together with the flipped version you can make a double spool setup (see pictures).

For most of the printers, don't use the flipped version for the lower frame or for a single top-setup.

Due to the wide "bed" of the spool-holder the spool wobbles a lot less than it does at the broomstick-like holders. I think the angle at the top-setup gives a more natural flow of the filament than other models. There should be more tension on the top frame, but I can't notice it in the construction of the frame or in the print quality.

You can bold the holder to the frame with a M4-bolt and T-nut. Do not do this for the lower frame, it fits great as it is. For the top frame it is not necessary either, but it is hanging over your print and printer. Better safe than sorry.

Of course there is also some bling to add, you can use the inlays in a different color.

A filament guide for the top-setup is recommended, you can find one here for the Tevo Tornado and maybe other models: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3062819

Happy spooling :)
