Tevo Tarantula corner bracket and top mounted spool holder combo by 3DPModder

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I had printed out Dintid's spool holder (found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1000323)
Finished end of spool rod with knob borrowed from galaxius' project here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:754248
STL's from those projects have been included here.
Decided I didn't like the spool jutting out front of the left leg per dintid's original setup, mainly due to the gap I needed to leave to allow clearance for the hotend and the 5015 fan mounted on top of it.
With that setup the spool ended up about 2-3 inches away from the leg which meant the filament would need to make an almost 90deg turn to feed the extruder motor mounted on top of the frame.
So I opted to mount the spool on top of the frame but I also wanted to reinforce the corner, so I designed this to fill both roles.
Hole and cutout in uprights are 8mm, I'm using a 5/16" rod and it was a tight fit, needed to bore it out with a slightly larger drill bit to allow rod to slip in and out freely.
Sloped the upper edge of hole inside the upright and lower edge on outside to make it easier to insert rod end on an angle without having to flex the arms to make room.
