Description

This is a fully adjustable spool holder designed to be screwed down onto your enclosure. It can take spools from 40mm to 180mm width (almost any spool you can find on the market!). A gear system links the left and right side together, if you move one side the other moves as well. I recommend you use some kind of filament guide like this one: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/58073 for the popular IKEA Lack enclosure.

Changelog:

  • 22.01.2020: Made recess holes for M5x16 a little wider and less deep

Print instructions:

Use 40% infill for racks, print everything else in 15%. Depending on your print's dimensional tolerances you might have to glue the racks into the side plate or have to sand some pieces until they fit.
If you own a Prusa MK3/MK3S you should not need any sanding/glue at all.
