3D model description

This model is obsolete. I highly recommend to print the new adjustable spool holder instead.

This is an alternative version of the 50mm spool holder by RonPossible, for the recent revisions of the FlashForge Creator Pro. This is suitable for filament spools with a simple cylindrical hole of 50mm diameter and 60mm length.

The differences are:
* Ready-to-print support material is provided, with small tabs to ensure the overhang that will be printed on top, will not detach prematurely and fall off before it can be bridged with the rest of the print, as has happened when I tried to let Slic3r generate supports. I highly recommend to print this one. The photos show a successful test of this support material (I didn't print yet another entire holder because I already have two usable ones).
* For those who want to generate their own support material anyway, there is also a file without the supports. This should still be less risky to print because I replaced the curved overhang with a straight one, which should make it easier for your slicer to provide good supports.
* I thickened some parts for improved strength.
* I added some holes to save a bit of material and speed up the print.

I only remixed the 50Β mm holder because I don't have any spools with other diameters. If you want a remix of the 32Β mm holder as well, just ask.

Update 2016/08/28: an adjustable version of this holder is now available. I highly recommend printing that one instead of this older model.
