Summary

!UPDATE: V2.1 has a bit more forward angle so the spool doesn`t unbalance the printer.!
The insertion method for the bracket underneath has been updated as well.

Probably the easiest way to make a filament holder for 1Kg rolls on your M3D printer.
It only requires one printed part (which can be printed on an M3D) and a paint roller set which you can get at any hardware store.
The printed part is designed for paint rollers with an 8mm round metal roller bracket.

There is a small roll holder now available as well:

Instructions:

Print the .stl file
Remove the plastic handle from the paint roller.
I used a hacksaw to cut it in halves.
Wait for the printer....
Wait for the printer....
Remove the part from the printer and remove the support material from the hole.
Hold the metal bracket with some pliers and heat the bracket for a minute.
then insert it into the holder, it will melt itself in.
Make sure it is inserted properly and straight.
Don't move it while it cools down, DONE!
!!BE AWARE OF THE HEAT, DON'T BURN YOURSELF!!

Happy printing!
