DaVinci Filament Spool Holder by ne14pez

Spool mounts on the rear of the printer. There are other similar designs to this one, but I wanted one that incorporates a filament guide into the same piece. I found that the other filament guides would come loose if not attached really well.
Fits standard 2" diameter spools. The width is just right to fit between the fins on the inside of the back panel so make sure to line that up.

Edit 9-11-16: I added a new piece just for a filament guide separate from the spool holder. After purchasing a couple Davinci 1.0a's I learned that there is a cutout in the back that can be use to feed filament in (not available on the AiO). The cutout allows for very secure attachment of filament guide. Just stick the small protrusion in the slot and push down until it clips in. It goes in tight, so don't be afraid to use some force sliding it in. The new filament guide is much better and can be used in conjunction with the existing spool holder (but bypassing the attached filament guide). On the inside of the printer, do not use the holes that look like they are for the filament. Instead, run the filament through the large rectangular slot. I found that this configuration prevents the filament from being pushed back during a print which can cause a tangle around the spool.
I also made some minor improvements to the spool holder which are in "Spool Holder - Rear 2".
11/7/16: added some pictures of how the filament guide attaches to the Davinci 1.0. There is a notch that it can slide into.
