This print was remix of the Devilscave spool holder done using SketchUp, Blender and PRUSA Slicer
A comment was made in the original file on Thingiverse that indicated they wished the original could be printed without supports. So I remixed this and clipped off the conflicting side and added little more material for strength at the connection point.
I believe the width of the end was needed for stability if you were to place this on a table or a shelf.
As Devilscape says, the original design was inspired by the TUSH design. Within the TUSH comments there was a lot of concern regarding stability when near the end of a spool or if the filament would pinch, and it would pull the spool off the holder. I solved this by using the original holder as a back up - see photo. In this photo, the spool rides the bearings but can use the original holder if needed, however I have not experienced stability problems with my use of this design.
As in the original Devilscave design, the Prusa Spool Holder uses:
8 M3-0.5x20mm Socket Cap Screws;
8 M3-0.5 Nylon Lock Nuts;
4 608 inline skate bearings.
My initial print is in PLA and I will determine if I need to print in PETG later as I watch it perform under the weight.
