Railcore II Frame Mount Spool Holder by chainsol

10/24/2018: Edited spool holder to have thinner post - the extreme bulge section didn't help. File is spool-holder-thin
Note: jstevewhite remixed this one again to a design I'm happier with - it requires some 1/4th inch rod and some threaded inserts but it's way less material!
This is a remix of jstevewhite's frame-mount spool holder arms - I got tired of knocking off one arm when I was removing the spool, and I wondered if you could get away with only one arm.
I don't use a filament guide - you might want to. The original file has a filament guide that works quite well.
This is a longish print due to the size, but you can probably drop the infill down quite a bit - I did 20% and it took about 7 hours.
This fits on the Railcore 2, over the frame and one 1515 rail.
The photos are of "version 1", which is identical except for the cross bar - however it's too easy to tip it over, thus the increased support in version 2.
Note: The cross bar is too long, so I'll shorten it by 20mm or so - otherwise it only fits on the side next to the rear stepper. It's still quite nice that way, hah.
