Description

This design is definitely an over engineered universal spool holder and it's built on the Lazy Susan made by humming.

It uses 3 arms to lock onto the spool and sits on the base of the Lazy Susan and bearing to allow seamless movement. The arms do not have to be tightly locked onto the filament spool, mine is normally about 0.5-1mm away from the spool but provides the tension necessary for a smooth flow.

There are some small teeth on the arms and base which locks the arms. 

Printed in 0.3 mm on the Prusa MINI+

Some spools are too wide so I had to also print feet extensions for the Prusa MINI+ Base to accommodate all spools.. sigh.

You will need to print:

The tolerances are quite tight which is what keeps the arms from being too loose at the teeth and sliding off. Please comment and let me know if any parts have issues.

Enjoy :)
