Could you post links to filament holders that will work with Tantillus?

I'm particularly interested in the holder for the PLA supplied by Repraper (Simon) in China. I believe it's the same spool shown with Tantillus in the Coke Zero photo.

Hey Lem,

They are in the folder called "extras" in the Tantillus Github Repo [github.com] .

The holder for the small diameter roll is called RepRaper_spool_a.stl and RepRaper_spool_b.stl.
If it is the large Diameter spool it is the one called Spool_holder.stl and Spool_holder_mount.stl.
If it is a Makerbot spool it is Spool_holder_long.stl and Spool_holder_mount.stl

Oh and Simon is using the small diameter spools now (holder called RepRaper) but he did use the large one before.

Thanks,

Here's the spool of black PLA filament I ordered from him for the camera snoot:

7446413650_cbaebf8a2d.jpg

The spool OD is 16 cm with a 3.75 cm diameter opening. The spool is just over 9 cm wide (tall?)

I'll try matching that to the holder dimensions.
