Single Spool (Reel) Holder for the Ultimaker 2

[agredfearn 0]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has designed a Single Spool (Reel) Holder for the Ultimker 2?

I use my UM2 for hobby purposes and so don't really have a need for the dual spool holder it comes with, (rarely change filament). As I have limited space I would prefer one that only holds one spool so the printer can be set back further on my workbench. I don't really want to cut it in half, so to save time designing one, I wonder if someone has already done this...?

If not, I will design one and post here for anyone else who feels the same way.

Thanks in advance!

I designed This one to be quite compact but also runs on bearing as a added benefit.

Anyone make this in ABS? Ended up adding brim , turning down speed, and shortening length from 155m to 85mm due to lift off with ABS. Anyone found a better solution?
