Universal Design filament spool holder Flexi Arm

Universal Design filament spool holder Flexi Arm

The innovative helper for every 3D printing enthusiast

History of our creation:

Inspired by the need to make 3D printing even more efficient and user-friendly, the Universal Design Filament Spool Holder Flexi Arm was born. Developed in my engineering office, where the passion for precision and functionality is paramount, this model represents the bridge between engineering precision and the desire for universal applicability.

Origin of the idea:

It all started with a 2.5 kilogram coil from Polymaker that simply wouldn't fit on conventional holders on our BambuLab fleet. So a simple requirement became a vision - to create a holder that is not only robust and customizable, but also combines design and functionality.

Use of the object:

The Flexi Arm is not just a support for filament spools of all kinds - it is a symbol of the fusion of design and functionality. It can be used for all common filament spools up to 2.5 kg in size (Polymaker, BambuLab, Extrudr, etc.) and offers a secure hold without compromising on aesthetics.

**Why is this brilliant?

- Universally applicable: Whether for small hobby printers or large industrial machines, the Flexi Arm delivers what it promises.

- Design meets function: With its modern and sleek design, it blends into any studio or workshop.

- Sustainable and durable: Made entirely from biodegradable PLA, it stands not only for innovation but also for environmental protection.

Experience the next generation of 3D printing accessories with the Flexi Arm filament spool holder - the sturdy, customizable companion for your creative projects.
