New spool holder

Post by Kitecraft »

I made me a new spool holder with a roller that lets the spool spin with no resistance.
And it has a spider web!

Looks nice! Do you have models to share? preferably in something SLDPRT, IGS, STP or similar so its easier to tweak :)

You can trick the board by renaming the file type,,,, or I think a zipped file will work.

It opens fine as an ascii which netfabb converts with no problems.
Thank you for the files!
