Factory M2 Spool Holder, what material?

Post by Vandal968 » Sun Dec 13, 2015 9:53 pm

What material is the factory M2 filament spoolholder printed out of? PLA, ABS? PETG? What % infill, anyone know? I'm printing up the second spool holder for a dual extruder setup and figured I should probably use what works.

cheers,

I bet the factory ones are ABS, as that is what all their other printed parts are in. But for the spool holder, it hardly matters. PLA works just fine. You will want a relatively high infill, as it prints with the load in the weak direction. I'd recommend 80%+.
