Description
Props to Adarkstudio for this cool design! When I found this spool holder I felt it would be perfect for my needs, I had just restructured my little printer farm and having to put the shelves in much closer than before meant I couldn't use the stock spool holders any longer. After printing this and getting it set up I found that the filament tended to cross over the uprights as it unwound (pictured) and would bind up occasionally which makes me think the original design is better suited for a direct feed extruder rather than a side mount Bowden setup.
My remix takes the original straddling configuration and switches it up to hang the spool completely off the back of the supports placing the filament more inline with the extruder. I also added some end stops and nut seats to make everything go together smoother.
you'll need (6) m3x20 screws plus nuts and (4) 608 bearings as before.
