Universal Spool Holder, Fully 3D Printed
Fits ANY spool. Up to 1Kg as is (see photos), scale up for larger spools (see "Larger spools" section).
Can be printed on a Mini 3D printer. Prints in one piece, pre-oriented, zero assembly.
Option to pass the filament through a guiding hole.
Print settings 3-4 perimeters 20-30% infill Material: PLA is more rigid with less friction, while PETG is less brittle.
Larger spools Scale up depending on printer and spool size: For 2-3Kg spools (up to 300mm diameter) scale up to 128%. If it won't fit your printer, try scaling it less on the Y axis (using non-uniform scaling). Scaling Y to 125% will fit an Ender3, while keeping X and Z scaled at 128%.
I prefer storing all filament in dry boxes, but this is my next best option.
No supports required. Support free. Supportless.

Just saw your Youtube Short on this and decided to print it! Details: Ender 3 Pro, SUNLU GREEN PLA+, 215C, 3 Wall, 15% infill. Will update when I finishhed!
Came out really well! Will upload photos and you can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbu63KHrle7/?utm_medium=copy_link
LIFE SAVER!! had to makeshift my own. Now I have this!
Prints beautifully, with zero issues whatsoever. Feels strong, and I haven't had any break under full spools yet!
Love it! Thanks so much for this design!
Ankermake M5C 25% Infill 3 Perimeters Creality Hyper PLA (Printed "Fast" 500mm/s MAX)
I printed it with 3 walls and 20% infill but the holder kept snapping off due to the weight of the spool (it was a new spool that weighs 1kg)
Looks like you forgot one chamfer at the top corner
Nice! Printed and soon to be used. Might I make one suggestion? Add some indents or ridges on the base to hold 4 of those self adhering clear cabinet bumper pads.
Just had to stick some bumper pads to the bottom of mine. First print and the printer yarded the holder, spool and all right off the shelf above it. Too slick with just plastic.
Would you release the CAD file, so that people make their own indents?
Interesting idea! You can still use the pads. I take it you don't want it to look like it's levitating? I've got a bunch of bumper pads of various thicknesses which would require various depths 🤔
why is there 2 hole at the bottom?
Indeed, they are for filament guiding, although I didn't have to use them in my tests.
I'm assuming they are the filament guiding hole referenced in the description
For guiding filament. It's both sides because if you have it the other way around, you still have a little hole.
