Printing with my new spool holder.

Ok, I have good news and bad news. It seems to be working great! The bad news is you can't use the original spool holder with the mount as I modified it, so if you want to use it you'd have to print both pieces. Also the nylon washers I used are optional I included to reduce wear from the parts rubbing against each other.

LOL! Thanks Mark

Edit: Wow that's a pretty heavy reel, 6.6 lb. Might have to load test this thing.

Hey Markb, if you haven't printed it yet, might want to hold off on it. I'm making a change to it so that it can take some spool adapters I'm re-mixing. I'm going to have to add a groove to it.

I was going to print it tomorrow but I will hold off for the new changes.

I'll probably post the updates tomorrow. I'm printing it now, just waiting to confirm everything fits together ok.

Ok markb its ready. If you decide to print the spool adapters you'll need to wire brush the interior diameter a little so they go on tight but not too tight. I'd still put a clip on the spool holder just in case they loosen up after some use.

I'll add more adapters as I run into the various sizes. I have an idea for an attachment for the small taulman holes. Whenever I buy my first Taulman I'll make it.
