Description

Hello everyone, I have been using the original model for a very long time. I recently received my first cardboard filament roll, which unfortunately arrived slightly deformed. As a result, the roll no longer lay flat in its track and thus leaned strongly to the right or left within the scope of the rotations so that it dragged on the outer wall and thus only created unnecessary tension on the filament. Of course I could have tried to bend the roll halfway straight again, but who knows how the next ones will turn out (especially because most manufacturers are switching to cardboard) and where is the fun in modelling then :D In my opinion, the only remedy for deformed rolls is to hook the rolls so that the filament can be unrolled without any problems. That's why I created a simple filament roll hanging frame that uses the existing former roll holders and offers space for 2x 1kg rolls and, above all, does not have to be screwed to the housing wall. Hanging it can be a bit fiddly, because the roller in the centre of the filament roll can still move freely, but there may be revised roll designs in the future. Filament rolls with an inner diameter of 52cm and some with 72cm, such as those from Sunlu, will fit I printed my rolls with a 0.6mm nozzle, 0.3mm layer height and 1.2mm line width in vase mode to avoid a Z-seam, which may not work with a 0.4mm nozzle. Printing in normal mode take a bit longer. 20 % infill No supports necessary
