    Hey RoBo 3Der's,

    We were going back and forth on whether or not we should put a spool holder on the machine itself. After testing some ideas, we have came up with the best solution we could with what we had to work with.

    We are going to include a spool holder that attaches directly to the printer! This doesn't mean you have to use it but it is there for ease of use.

    No offence guys, but that's a rather odd design, is that Solid acrylic rod?, I think I'll only use it once, to print a new SPOOLHOLDER!!!!

    2 serious q's, 1. Is there a filament guide built into the chassis? 2. Does the filament spool off this well?

    Note- If i actually make a 3d file to do this, I'll post the 3d file on thingyworse.
    (I'm a professional Industrial Designer with tons of 3D experience so it won't be awful)

    It's an unconventionally shaped printer so they had to design an odd looking spool holder. The spool was probably an afterthought when their backer starting asking for one...
