PDF

Spool holders using PTFE tubes were chewed up by cardboard spools after some time and I had an all metal bambulab spool holder lying around… 

(For RatRig V-Core 4 owners : the adapter width + the length of the Bambulab spool holder stills clear the bed, so it's fully compatible with the original spool holder location)  

Print instructions:

  • no supports
  • part already oriented in .stl (flat side down)
  • standards RatRig print settings : 4x walls, 0.2 layer height, 25% infill
  • material : if enclosed, preferably ABS or ASA

BOM:

  • 1x adapter (printed part)
  • 1x Bambulab spool holder
  • 2x m3 Inserts (5,7 x 3 x 4,6 mm preferably, but with enough heat, any m3 insert size should fit :D)
  • 2x m3x10mm Hex Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS)
  • 2x m6x12mm Hex Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS)
  • 2x m6 T-Nut - Drop In Type for 30 Series

Assembly instructions:

  1. Print the adapter
  2. Press the m3 inserts from the back of the adapter until flush with the surface
  3. Insert m3 screws through the adapter to clean the holes from any melted plastic
  4. Remove the m3 screws

  10. Enjoy your new spool holder
