Add a little style to your spool holder...
October 10, 2013 08:21PM

The spool holder on my Afinia fits their spools really well, go figure. But it doesn't fit your typical aftermarket spools. Can't have that! So instead of modifying the boring stump of a spool holder they had, I built a free standing one. The square tapers that hold it together came out perfect - it snaps together nicely.

Looks cool, no 3d models? My spool holder looks like this, it'd need some modification.(Hmm, maybe just draw something on the spool itself)

Nice! I like the quick release pin. Nice idea.
I wanted to make something free standing - seems like everyone had something hooked to their machine or a shelf. But if that keeps your spool out of the way that's great. Frees up bench space.

Nice spool holder! I printed a Filament Duck a couple of days ago (http://www.thingiverse.com/make:52009) which does a decent job, but the actual holder for the reel stops it turning smoothly.

Any chance of the stl's being shared? smiling smiley

HI,

Glad you like it. I've been using it constantly for weeks.

You can grab the STL's and the CAD files from my site: 3DPrinterninja.com

Look in the free downloads.

Thanks,
Wayne
