Needed a simple spool holder for different size spools for my MakerBot. Couldn't find anything I was happy with so I designed this spool holder. The idea is since my MakerBot is close to the wall, storing the spools right behind them made sense. Then I thought about how to effectively guide the material without spending a lot of time. So I came up with the companion wall guide. This design holds the ends of two different spools until you are ready to use one. It will hold the color of the spool you're not using so it won't fall out of place.
Simply print two spool holders (wall base and handle) and one wall guide. The threaded spool holder assembly is 1.875" in diameter x 2.75" thick.
As you can see, I added two sets to hold four spools. I left the handle on the model blank in case you want to add a logo or something.
So far it works great. Nice smooth feeding of the material and the other spools are at the ready.
Printer Brand: MakerBot
Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation)
Rafts: Yes
Supports: Yes
Resolution: .20 mm
Infill: 20%
Notes:
The Handle needs supports for the face, this also makes the logo not look all that hot. Maybe if you flip it, might look better....I wasn't too concerned about that. I was worried about function. The rest do not need supports....
