A Sturdy Simple Spool Holder
Published 2017-08-29T08:11:10+00:00
Description
I needed several spool holders and I couldn't find anything quite right for me, so I created this attractive, super simple, yet surprisingly sturdy spool holder that is entirely 3D printed and snaps together. It is designed to fit almost all filament spools up to 1 kg (limited by size, not weight)
I printed at 3 shells and 20% infill, but that was overkill. You're probably ok at 2 shells and 10% infill (let me know in the comments!)
The top rests on the holder for easy spool removal, and the bottom legs snap into place to hold the sides together. Depending on the accuracy of your printer you may have to use an adhesive, but I got a perfect fit.
Print 2 of the sides, 2 of the legs, and 1 of the top.
You can find the Top Loading version of the holder here
*07/24/19 UPDATE* Added wide version for 2kg spools (up to 9 cm wide)

Thanks so much. Just what I needed. Took about 3.5hrs as I printed each side separately because I have a small print bed (150mm x150mm) but well worth it. Ps. I put it together inside out as I like the smooth look on the outside * still works.
