solarbirdNew design: Retainer arm for use when printing loose/unspooled filament
I have a bunch of loose filament - I like to order sample sets and they come in rolls but there's no spool involved, right? And I can print with it just fine except it keeps coming off the filament spool holder and that's bad.
So I made an armature to keep it from falling off the spool holder. It's not a substitute for whatever filament spool holder someone might have already, it's an extra piece, an armature that keeps the filament from coming off the existing spool holder. It's been working pretty well so far for me and should work with anything that has a similar spool holder to the Ender 3 series, so I put it on thingiverse.
Anyway if anybody else has this problem, you might try it too.
