Started printing my new spool holder...

Thinking this is looking like it could double up for something else as well... :lol: :roll: :lol:

A bit better image... I don't know why, but all these STL files I download always seem to have some "dump fault" in them :shrug: When I do my own files and print them they'll print out fine...

@exxos I do hope that pink matches the recently repaired TV?

What is it a spool for out of curiosity?

I think it is pretty close, may be a fraction darker :shrug:

First part done! A bit of oozing I think on the top of it, likely because the fans were not running as they are too noisy :roll: Need to measure the fans and find some quieter ones I think..

So this turned out to be a pain :roll: It did not actually fit as my printer has some locating holes, so I had to drill them out :roll: I also had to take the bottom of the printer to get at the nuts the other side :roll:

Even more annoying, I tried to link the rear fans in series to run them at half voltage, I don't know why but the whole printer went off, crashed, came back on again, and now both vans are stuck full on all the time :roll: I have just left them disconnected for now..

Also if anyone knows what this presumably MOSFET is, let me know as I cannot seem to find out what it actually is :roll:

Finally done. Messed up on the top bit though, but not surprised with no supports :roll:

Out of curiosity, what was wrong with the old one? Not pink enough?
