Description
I got some Voxel Factory 3mm ABS filament for Christmas, so I decided to make a spindle to mount the spools to the side of my MakerBot Cupcake.
Basically it's a combination of a printed spindle, printed spindle guard (so that the spool doesn't fall off), and a flange and turntable from the MakerBot Filament Spindle MK1 kit.
The turntable is then bolted to the side of my printer, and so far it seems to work pretty well.
You'll need some M3 bolts (four of short-ish length) and M3 nuts.
