I needed a simple spool holder solution for my Prusa i3 MK3S+ clone inside my open Ikea Lack enclosure. Here's what I came up with – a quick-to-print frame that attaches to the Lack and uses my favorite spool holder design.
What you'll need:
- 3D printed parts from the included files
- Your preferred spool holder (design of your choice)
- 1-3 screws
- Screwdriver
- Optional: Drill
Instructions:
Print the parts:
- Material: PLA or PETG
- Infill: 13% (triangles for strength)
- Walls: 3
- Top/Bottom Layers: 4/5
- No supports needed
- Print time: About 4 hours 10 minutes
Assemble the spool holder:
- Insert the roller pin into the roller.
- Add 608 bearings to the pins.
- Attach the assembled roller to the filament holder.
Mount to your Lack:
- Place an empty spool on the holder to gauge placement.
- Ensure the spool doesn't touch the enclosure's bottom or ceiling.
- Mark the mounting spot on the Lack frame.
- Pre-drill holes (optional).
- Screw the frame into place.
Enjoy your new spool holder!
Tips:
- The included 3MF file has optional screw holes for extra stability.
- If you need a version for a fully enclosed Lack, let me know!
