I printed some mods to allow loading filament from behind the printer from my filament dryer, so the side mounted spool holders became unnecessary. Didn't have a convenient spot to store my extra build plate, so figured that instead of just covering up the empty spool holder holes, I'll put them to practical use.
Holder is designed for the left side (i.e. spool mounts 1 & 2), but if you want it on the right instead (3 & 4), just mirror the holder. It holds three build plates so that it still fits while using the 'PFTE Tube Adapter' and 'PTFE Radius Guide' (also from Printables) that I'm using for rear loading without moving the autofeeders. If you need to store more than three build plates you'll need to print another one for the right side, or remix this one... or use some other system for storing your plates. :P
Prints upright without supports.
You can find the required 'Spool Holder Cover with Snap Attachment' here (use the octagonal one for proper spacing):
Sorry about the attachment parts being behind a different link, the remixed parts used had incompatible licenses...
Uses Tinkercads 'Snap and Socket Generator' for the sockets.
