I didn't like how the filament spool would get pulled against the machine with the traditional spool holder on the Monoprice Mini V2. This provided a poor feeding angle for the filament and was wearing away my stock extruder (I plan to upgrade soon, trust me). I created this simple part to keep the filament spool at a reasonable distance from the machine to provide a better feeding setup. This is also used in tandem with a small guide atop the printer for added filament-feeding support.
Print Settings (Standard, sliced in Cura):
0.2mm layer height
3 walls
15% infill (can be less since much isn't needed)
0.1 resolution
Printed in the orientation provided by the file, no support
Mount as shown in the photo. Clips on nicely without any slipping when the filament spool is up against it.
*extra-long version of this coming soon for additional spacing, if that may be desired
