This is a very simple but effective part for use in the Prusa Enclosure. 

As stated in the manual of the Prusa enclosure, it important to make sure there’s sufficient space between the filament spool and Nextruder. When printing at the full height of the printer, the Nextruder may come into contact with the filament spool. To prevent this, place the spool on the spool holder as far to the right as possible. Prusament spools are not affected by this when positioned correctly.

But even when the spool is positioned correctly to the far right, it can still move back to the left due the rotation of the spool and vibrations of the printer.

That’s why I designed a very simple spacer to keep the spool from moving back to the left side. Just slide it over the arm over the spool holder. I have designed the part so that the spool can be easily lifted over it.

Printed on 0.2 mm height, 30% inprint, in Prusament Galaxy Black PLA.

Have fun with it and let me know when you use it. Love to see those pictures!

Happy printing!
