Description

This "Compact Low Friction Spool Holder" is intended to be used with my "Ultimaker2 Rail System" https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultimaker2-rail-system-u2rs and is a modification of Roberts well known Low Friction Spool Holder; http://www.youmagine.com/designs/882. The component "608_core2" is unmodified.It's a bit of a strange choice maybe but I based this thing on 608 bearings (=M8) and a long M6 Hexnut, simply because I had this available (and did not want to use a M8 bolt for weight saving). I added the DSM file so you can easy adjust to other bearing dimms if you neeed to.One of the 2 end holders will go over the head of the M6 hexnut completely, so you can mount 2 spoolholders close together on the rail system (2 spools in one bracket inbetween them) I made the 50mm spool adaptor for UM & ColorFabb spools, with the DSM file you can easily modify it to any size you need. This component could also be a good base to make a "loose fillament adaptor" I'll may make one later if ever I need one...

If you need a longer version for bigger spools, you can just use the original "608 Core2 90mm STL" from here; https://www.youmagine.com/designs/low-friction-um2-spoolholder

<p>Its already available! the rsdoc file is the file format of the free cad software Design Spark Mechanical (google to download). If your still looking which CAD software to use I'd advice to try this out (better for 3D printing than f.e. skechup) I you use other pro software I can provide a STEP file if needed..</p>

Is there away to get the digital files of the spool adapter, I have different spools and want to adjust them. STL isnt an easy file to edit.

Thanks for your reply, I had the shell thickness to 0.6 so that fixes the problem - thanks

I printed them myself using cura 14.07 so that can't be it, what settings do you use? did you check in layer view before printing? Not sure what I used, but when I use some standard setting like layer 0,1 and shell 0,8 I see no issue ... offcourse the top part is 0,6 mm thick which is not a multiple of 0,4 (my nozzle size) so not ideal, but it printed wel for me...

there seems to be something wrong with the two spacers, I have printed them twice and the smaller diameter part does not print ? I guess it could be a problem with Cura (I am using version 14.07) which does show the spacers with the smaller diameter ?
