P2S strong external spool side support

BambuLab P2S

External side spool holder, simple and sturdy! Easy to print and with the original filament guide.

Hello friends, even on this new P2S, the external spool holder wasn't right for me. I must say they've improved the one provided quite a bit, but it doesn't meet my space requirements. In fact, the original spool holder causes the spool to protrude from the back of the printer's profile, so if the printer is placed on a shelf, as in my case, it's not possible to insert the spool. So I designed a spool holder that can be attached using the same holes as the provided one and can also utilize the filament guide rod supplied with the original spool holder.

The print is simple to make; the model has several infill modifiers to ensure strength in high-stress areas. The main arm is assembled using 2 M3x12mm screws (M3x10mm also work), while the tube for the spool screws on via the M18 thread integrated into the female thread on the arm. The thread turns are designed to allow tightening to finish with the slot facing upwards, so you can insert the original filament guide rod into it without the need for other tools or screws.

Removing the tube is also quick and requires no tools, so if you don't want to use the external spool, you can easily unscrew the tube, thus reducing its bulk.

As indicated by BambuLab, the spool holder has 3 possible mounting zones: 1, 2, and 3. Mine is mounted in position 2, on the poop chute side. 

Use the Position 1 profile for mounting on the buffer tube inlet side

Use the Position 2 profile for mounting on the waste poop chute side

This arm holder is not compatible with position 3!

I printed it in PETG HF, but PLA works perfectly fine too. If you want more robustness, go for ABS or ASA.

I hope you like it and find it useful.
