Description
This spool holder is an entry for the Joel Telling / 3D Printing Nerd Spool Holder Design Challenge. This design is intended to fit on the shelving unit that he presented in his video.
The goals of this design:
- Safely and Securly add a spool holder to Joel's shelf
- Clean design with minimal visible fasteners
- Allow space for the spools above not to interfere with the one on the holder
- Easy installation, relocation and removal
- Minimized need for supports
- Replacable spindle for different size filament spools
Components of the model
- Frame (main body which sits on the lumber)
- Spindle (part on which the spool hangs/spins)
- Bottom Slider (inserted into frame to secure it around the lumber)
- Screw (to fasten the spindle to the frame)
- Rotating Lock (to prevent the spindle from spinning itself)
- Slider Stop (to prevent the bottom slider from coming loose)
