Quick Mount Side Spool Holder for X2D, P2S, X1C, P1S

This side spool holder is designed for a fast, simple and flexible external spool setup.

Main Features

• Quick and simple mounting
• Left or right side installation
• One or two spool setup
• Easy to position according to your setup
• Reliable and robust construction
• No extra hardware needed

Assembly

The holder consists of 3 printed parts:

1. Main holder / base
2. Spool rod
3. Locking clip

Insert the spool rod into the main holder until it reaches the end stop. This is intentionally a tight fit, so some force may be required.

Then turn the holder around and press the locking clip into the slot from above. Push it down firmly with your thumb until it snaps onto the rod and locks into the groove.

Make sure the rod and clip are fully seated before loading a spool.

Installation

Slightly slide the glass lid to the opposite side to open the gap between the glass lid and the side panel.

Insert the holder into the side gap from above and push it down until it sits securely in place.

The holder can be mounted on either the left or right side. For an X2D dual-spool setup, simply print the holder twice.

Print Notes

The main holder uses snug supports. These must be removed completely after printing, especially around the insertion area.

I printed my version in PLA Matte for the clean visual appearance. For regular high-temperature printing or elevated chamber temperatures, I recommend PETG, ABS or ASA instead.

There are 3 separate print profiles for X2D, P2S and P1S which I will upload shortly.

Feedback

This is an early version and I may release improved versions in the future. Please give me feedback on the model what needs to improved.
