It holds stupidly large spools!
05/06/2016 at 19:04 • 0 commentsFor a project, I picked up a 3.5kg spool of filament from Atomic Filament. It's 12" in diameter, 3.75" thick, and completely fits in the spool holder. Neat.

The only issue I see for this is having the spool tip the machine over. It doesn't seem like that will work, but I wouldn't put a 5kg spool on this spool holder.
