Infilldelspooler

Infilldelspooler, If you dislike fellow 3d-printing Enthusiasts being comfortable around your printer ever again, mount your spools on this precarious looking but absolutely save TUSH-style Filament Spool Holder.

The logical continuation of my Rollerspooler, less Material, quicker Print, enhanced uneasiness!

Model was validated by simulating a tiny gorilla, giving the printed part a good ol' twist. It said: “Ook”.

Instructions

1. Print one set of left/right
   • It's easiest to set up one side, then copy everything and mirror on the Y axis after switching to “Local Coordinates”
     
   • 0.3 mm / Draft Settings
   • No Top/Bottom Layers
   • 2 Perimeters
   • Variable Layer Height if you like
   • 20% Gyroid Infill
   • For Left/Right Pin
     • Set Bottom/Top Layer to 3
     • Set Perimeters to 2
         You can set it to anything that is different from the main settings. Otherwise, the Perimeters of the “Pin” won't be printed throughout the Arm.
       
   • NOTE
     • The pins are designed to be printed as part of the whole model. They are separate models because it makes the setup in PrusaSlicer much easier.
   • Prepare
     • 4 — M6 Nut
         Lock nuts can be used but are not necessary

How to mount

• Place bearings on pins
• Lightly screw nuts on pins
  • Some minor Resistance is expected
  • The Nuts only holds the Bearing on the Arm

FAQ

• Isn't there a large amount of side flex without the walls?
  • If you twist it with your hands, then yes.
• If the Filament gets caught on the spool, isn't the Spool dragged right off?
  • It's more likely that the filament shears off inside the extruder before the Spool is dragged off.
    I had a few tangles while printing because I was moving the spool around a bunch and couldn't really create a scenario where the Extruder created enough tension on the bracket to move it.
• It doesn't feel robust sitting on the Frame
  • Having a centered arm on the bracket would be better for rigidity but would make printing more complicated, and increase printing time.
• It's rather flimsy, innit?
  • Why not try Rollerspooler then?
