Recently I have started working on FlashForge Creator Pro printer. There is everything included in the set, even original filament holder. Unfortunately during the whole printing process I almost used all filament attached to the printer itself, so there was a high time to buy some. I got very interested in DevilDesing filaments offer, especially their starter packs where you get 6 most popular colors in small 0.33 kg spools. After placing an order I have found out that the diameter of spools doesn't match original filaments holders and they need to be an exact fit. Because of the different size it would be impossible for spool to rotate freely and move the filament to the extruder. I decided to create my own solution using my 3D printer instead to solve this issue.
This is how I measured, designed and printed my new filament holders — zwHolder for Creator Pro. During design process I found a few problems:
If you compare my requirements with the current model you can see that it meets all the expectations.
Project was created using AutoDesk Fusion 360. Final object was printed using FlashPrint from FlashForge slicer using red color PLA filament from DevilDesing.
