Description

PDF

This is a straight rip of MIRCON's model with the interface changed to fit into the stock Prusa Mk3 spool holder arm. I reverse engineered that geometry, used it to replace the Bambu mount interface, and made some small fitment changes to the original model. This twists into the supplied injection molded arm on the Prusa Mk3 as shown in the photos.

Since MIRCON included their .SLDPRT files I will as well. These are Solidworks 2021.

 

Parts list:

1x Filament Spool

1x Spool Holder

2x 608 bearings

 

I printed this with basic PLA using the “Strength .20mm” Bambu profile (6 walls) and 10% infill. It's held up fine so far.
