One to spool them all... more or less.

A spool holder that is compatible with spools from 16cm (300g) to ~30cm (5kg) in diameter. I've been using the previous version for four years now and it never failed me. This one is even better! Features are:

  • concave roller shape to self-center the spool
  • no tools required for assembly
  • wide stance feet to prevent accidentally tipping over
  • sturdy and long-lasting
  • totally over-engineered
  • beautiful (results may vary)
What you need for a complete spool holder:
  • 2x inner wall
  • 2x outer wall
  • 4x foot
  • 4x guide roller
  • 4x 608 type bearing

You can use the modifier meshes in your favorite slicer to save filament and time by removing top and bottom surfaces and just printing infill.

Post-Printing

Assembly

When all parts are printed, simply press the bearings into the rollers (might need a good amount of force), then use two of those to connect one outer and one inner wall and slide two feet on from the bottom until they snap into place. You can slightly bend them open while doing so, works even with PLA or other stiff filaments.
