My attempt to make a really cheap spool holder box.
I made a large plastic purchase from "MakerBot" and needed a place to store and dispense them from, so I got a cheap plastic box and lid, I designed spacers to fit the pole and spools and keep them separated.
The spacer are needed as I found out when my feeder assembly was trying to lift the spools before they would turn on the rod, now they dispense beautifully.
BTW, the first image is of the box before I finished, I will try to get a couple more images showing assembly.
I hope to add a better attachment point on the feeder assembly for the bundle of color filaments, the current one did not work out (can you guess the feature on my last update that was supposed to work but did not?)
I have an UP! printer that I do take around to other locations, this makes traveling with multiple color spools easier.
