i have a trouble.
In Ukraine filament made with cardboard spool. It's no good for MDF spool holder.
No slip. Cardboard spool can be damaged.
Maybe some one can give me .stl file for spool upgrade ?

This fits over the stock arm and provides a smooth surface that should work for cardboard spools.

I found that model a few weeks ago. Honestly, that should be everyone's third print, right after the two fan shrouds!

Yeah, you have to pick the right end though too.
One of the ends has a 90 degree corner. That's the bottom. The other end has a curved corner. That's the top.

Are you using MatterControl? There should be an Edit button somewhere once you load the model. It has controls for rotating.

I found this button in a view section.
Can I build this model with ABS or i need PLA ?

ABS would be my preference, but either should work fine.
