LOWER, STURDIER, BETTER
Designed to be almost 50% lower than the original provided spool holder by Prusa and not affecting normal printing operations, this spool holder is essential for anyone who:
- Has size limitations for their enclosures
- Has size limitation for shelving and overhanging furniture
- Wants something that looks good
- Has a big PP
Printing parameters
For initial testing I used PLA at 5% infill for the prototype. Obvious to say it didn't manage to hold a full 1kg roll for long before starting to creep and deform. See for yourself in the picture below.
I've been using the recommended parameters below for my final build, and has not observed any deformities (Yet). If you want to make it extra robust, increase wall parameters and infill.
Parameters used for my prototype (Deformed):
- 2 parameters
- 5% infill
- 0.3mm Layer height
- PLA
Recommended parameters:
- 4 parameters
- 25% infill
- 0.3mm Layer height
- PETG
Slicer placement
Use this as a guideline on which surface to plant the part. Feel free to rotate /position the part to your liking.
Filament guide
Due to the lowered angle of the spool, the filament guide will prevent scraping of the filament on the frame.
The extra large slot and the added fillets around the edges ensures a smooth sailing experience for your precious filaments.
No sound, smooth, and it just works.
**Due to the slightly long bridging distance, some may encounter problems on the side of filament guide. Do adjust your slicer settings accordingly before hand.
Assembly
Align hexagon boss/cut and press the lock into the body. Use the floor and your body weight to push until it seats fully. That's it! Fully assembled. Get yourself 1 gummy bear for the minimum effort.
**You may find the need to sand down the hexagon edges, depending on your printer settings/print quality.
Attaching to frame
As it was designed to hold 1kg spools, this needs to be robust. Thus, I made the front top lip extra long for that. Some may find it hard to attach it to the frame so here's how I do it.
- Position Spool holder body so the upper lip grooves is in contact with the printer frame
- Press down the top surface of the spool holder body to bed in the frame into the slot in the top lip
- Push and rotate spool holder so the bottom lip clips onto the frame and locks (You may hear a click sound)
Easy peezey, now reward yourself 2 gummy bears. Hopefully you didn't break anything!
