    YASH – Yet another spool holder – metric version

    Summary
    Hi there,
    first of all: This is not pure 3D printing – this needs a 15mm aluminium rod cut to the appropriate length.
    You can print it quite fast and I really love the ease of use on it. If you´re swapping filament very very often stay tuned I´ll designing a version for this application too and add it here.
    What to print for regular 1kg spools:
    side 2 times
    bar110 2 times (the 110 is also the lenght of 15mm aluminium tube you´ll need)
    wheel 2 times (I´ll be adding a few spool diamters – If you need anything special let me know and I´ll provide those files too).
    spacers as needed (assemble everything except the spacer to figure out how much you need or just print a few of each size and use them as you need them)
    What to come (“work-in-progress”):
    version for bigger spools (this means only longer bars and a longer rod).
    Taller version If someone tells me that his spools are touching the ground.
    AND: Imperial version – but since I don´t know what since aluminium tube you can source cheap in the US I´ll wait for your input on this issue.

    You can crank up those values according to your needs but they work fine for me.
