Updates 1: New Clamp Spool Holders, More Bambu Buckets (Patreon)

Clamp Spool Holders V2!

There are two more print-in-place clamp spool holders!  These don't replace the previous one, though, so much as add options (and a little refinement).  Requests for spool holder mods included:

* Allow a piece of PTFE tubing to be inserted to reduce friction

* Support holding the spool at 90 degrees to the clamp

* Allow the spool to be mounted upwards, rather than just downwards.

So, the two new versions are much more compact, removing the longer arms from the clamp part.  This makes things more sturdy but it means that these new versions aren't appropriate for shelving that has a significant lip to get past - for that situation, you'll want to stick with the existing one!

The Perpendicular version extends out sideways - it's much like the original, but with the clamping bolt much closer to the spool centre.  This makes it much more stable and lets it be mounted so that the spool is above the shelf rather than below (the offset bolt of the original version made that impractical!)

The Parallel version sticks straight outwards rather than out to the side.  It could be mounted upside-down if desired, but the spool will still be in the same spot :P

You'll find these new models on dropbox under 631 Clamp Spool Holders V2

Slimline and Regular Mode Bambu X1 Buckets

The Bambu X1 Bucket worked nicely, but was a little deep for some people!  So, there's now a slimmer version.  Instead of extending 80mm from the rear of the printer the slimline version extends a mere 56mm.  You'll definitely want to use the magnets for the slimline one as it has a far smaller base than the original!

For those who prefer a more robust container there's now a regular mode version of the full-sized bucket.  Rather than printing at a 45 degree angle it prints base-down, and omits the angled rear plane that would usually be the base of the vase mode version.

File locations:

The regular, non-vase print version of the full-sized bucket is on dropbox under 632 Bambu X1 Bucket Regular Mode

The slimline version of the vase mode bucket is under the original dropbox folder: 638 Bambu X1 Bucket
