Post-Printing

Not the best, but I cleaned up minor stringing with a lighter and small razorblade.

How I Designed This

After searching for a while for a suitable bracket, I couldn't find anything that tickled my fancy so I decided to design my own.

This was designed by taking relevant measurements from the printer gantry and the OEM spool holder bracket with Vernier Calipers. This was then drawn up in Fusion360 and exported as an STL for slicing. The design includes filleted edges to help improve strength.

Note - the lower bolt hole is modelled with an M5 thread to suit the standard mounting bolt. When printed, the thread was unsuccessful however the hole is a good diameter so that the bolt still threads in nice and securely.
