3D model description

Acrylic Filament holder with 3D printed gimbal.

Manufacturing settings

Glue together laser cut parts using your preferred glue. 3D printed parts snap together, parts are held in place with M3 screws. I tapped the top holes that hold the gimbal, you may choose to drill them out and use a screw with nut. The Hub is suited to UP!+ 700g spool so you may want to make your own hub if using different spools.

The holder can accommodate spools up to 100mm across or 2 standard spools at 58mm wide and 220mm in diameter. The gimbal allows for placement anywhere near your printer.

The door can be optional, bending can be done by placing the part in an oven at 120 degrees Celsius until the acrylic becomes soft and plyable, using gloves, place the headed acrylic over something with radius of around 127mm to form the curve, hold until cool. A large cooking pot may do the job.

You will also need a rod around 8mm diameter for the spool and hub to rest on. I used 12mm diameter stainless steel with 4mm wide grooves machined to 8.5mm diameter, 124mm apart.
