Universal Filament Spool Holder

Since I couldn't find any decent desktop spool holder that would fit printing on the Flashforge Finder, I decided to dive in and design one myself. Whole assembly doesn't require any glue and it fits really snuggly together. You might notice a wobble once all is assembled, but it's ok, this has been designed so that the spool adds rigidity to it. Once the filament spool is on, it's solid.

I included two different bars, standard and if your spool has a slightly higher diameter then you can print out a thicker version that will give you some extra clearance. Bar has inbuilt threads that work well with the threads inside of the screw caps.

As for the printing itself:

1. Print without supports (unless you print the thicker bar, then you might need some);
2. For the full assembly, print: 2 sides, 2 feet, 2 screw caps and 1 bar;
3. Raft is recommended to avoid warping, especially for feet;
4. Print any resolution you'd like (I printed mine at 0.3 layer to save on time and filament);
5. Print on 10%+ infill (the more infill, the tougher the part will be, but the more filament will be used to print it, and it will add time too).

6. On the Flashforge Finder, print sides separately, but the bar, feet and caps can be printed simultaneously) Enjoy!
