CR6 Spool Holder Arm

I was so grateful to find that grdesign had already done all of the “heavy-lifting” to design this model.  (see original at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4893737/files)

The only problem I had with the original version was that the hinge piece was flat on one side and wider than stock.  It made the part easy to print without supports, but I needed the arm to pivot toward the rounded side in my application.  

Since the stock piece is symmetrical, I also figured somebody might appreciate it if this one was, too.  All I did was split the model in ½, keep and mirror the half with the rounded pivot piece and then merge those two halves together.

These were my PLA print settings:

• 0.20mm layer height
• 0.42mm line width
• 4 walls (printed from inside to out)
• 4 top/bottom layers
• 100% infill, to ensure maximum strength when loaded with a full 1Kg spool
• High-end of filament printing temperature range, to make strong layer bonds
• 100% cooling fan
• Normal support, everywhere (pushes out easily from pivot hole & bayonet fitting.)
• 35mm/s first layer speed
• * 200mm/s infill speed
• * 100mm/s support and wall speed
