Flashforge Creator Pro 8mm-bolt holder for spool holder by pauldebra

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

There are many spool holders for the Flashforge Creator Pro. Some use a bolt or rod. I'm not reprinting the existing parts for holding the spool on the rod, only the part to hold an 8mm bolt (I use 120mm in length).
This was created in sketchup and carefully checked for any hidden artifacts inside or for flipped surfaces, and then converted to stl.
The stl file will print fine with Flashprint.
The stl file will result in bogus code and sometimes crashes with Simplify3D. If anyone has an idea how to change the stl file so Simplify3D can understand it I would very much like to know.
If you place two of these on the "printbed" and slice with Simplify3D it produces two different bogus versions. So really, do not use Simplify3D to print this (at this time).
Edit: I added a fixed stl thanks to Doug Kightley from the Simplify3D forums. It appears my nice model in Sketchup was not translated to a good stl file by the sketchup to stl converter I have as a plugin in Sketchup. Maybe it's too old...
