Filament Spool Holder & Adapters
Made by Cosmosis, uploadedDescription
Thanks to @bbeaudoin for designing this spool holder. I printed this once, and made nearly zero modifications to it, and it fit my Dremel 3D20 perfectly.
The only hiccups I had were that the screws that came with the 3D20 that held the original spool holder in place do not work with this printed spool holder. (It's a weird thing: the hex screws, once removed, simply slide in and out of the pre-drilled hole in the frame. I can't figure out how they were screwed in originally.) I had to buy a longer and slightly thicker bolt to go into the hole, and that secured it perfectly.
Also, while the wingnut as printed fits, I found using it to secure the Hatchbox spool adapter on made it too tight to turn easily. It's been fine on the spool adapter without the wingnut thus far (one fast print and two long-ish prints).
Finally, as others have said, if you turn the model onto its back before printing, you can print all three pieces (holder, adapter(s), and wingnut) without any supports.

The screws are held on with normal nuts on the underside. If you did not lay the 3D20 on its side (it won't hurt it), didn't remove the bottom cover, and didn't hold the nuts with your fingers/socket, then yeah, you have two metal nuts floating around your bottom case, ready to cause a short the next time you move it!
Please do take that cover off, and remove those two loose nuts. Hate for you to let all of that smoke out from an otherwise fine printer. :)
Duly noted, @eduncan911 - thank you! I'm sure they are still down there...I'll turn it on it's side and get them out. I appreciate you reaching out to let me know.
Looks nice! What spool core did you use for the Hatchbox filament?
Hi @H_Alpha, I wish I could remember which specific spool adapter I used, but it's been too long. That being said, I do recall that in the "Read Me" file provided by the designer of it, it mentions which one specifically fits Hatchbox. Hope that helps!
