Description

This is a simple spool mount that sits on top of a Prusa.

**UPDATED**

I added 2 more files:
1. stl with v2 suffix
2. skp with v2 suffix

Based on Maxinux's feedback - it was just a few mm from clearing properly with a 5lb spool. This mod should give the proper clearance.

Instructions

1. Print 2 of the spool hubs
2. Print 2 of the angled spool holders
3. Cut a piece of threaded rod about 160mm in length

Assemble...

I haven't used this extensively yet - so please let me know if you run into any major issues.

The spool hubs fit a ~50mm hole in a spool.

Can you post the .skp of the spool hub? my hole is around 39mm so i need to be able to adjust it

I've attached the 175 hub2.stl and the 175 hub.skp
&
lt;- it should probably already be sized to your spool.

cheers,

Nice, I was going to edit my original to angle the arms in order to get some more clearance but now I don't have to! 8-)
