Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              3D print replacement spool holder

Before your spool holder breaks, 3D print a replacement to have on hand. If you didn’t preemptively print a replacement you can still print without a spool holder. Just find some way of holding the spool so that it can rotate as the filament gets pulled off.
