A1 Mini Top (Z-Axis) Mounting Spool Holder
Print Profile(1)

Description
I modeled this because I got a new A1 Mini without the AMS, and as everyone knows the spool holder in the back is hard to get at. This spool holder screws right into the top just like the original grey cap does, while being strong enough to hold spools securely. Using this makes it easy to load & unload filament, and it looks great. Full range of motion still possible while using this.
It prints in 3 pieces, drastically improving the overall appearance quality at the cost of needing super glue. I made it 3 pieces because print orientation really matters. While testing the very first iteration of the design, I saw that the quality of the curve on the surface was really bad due to it being printed while oriented upside down, so I separated the front screw and changed print orientation.
Ensure top holder piece is oriented correctly in the hexagonal slot before gluing. Because of the shape, it can be put in many different angles. If printed with a strong profile, it is not 100% necessary to glue the top piece in place, so you can freely rotate it as you want.

I put a lot of time, effort, and filament into my designs to ensure they work well and efficiently. Boosting my models helps me out significantly, and its free for you!
