Anet A8 Spool Mount

This is a slip on, frame mounted spool holder for the Anet A8. It attaches to the left side pillar , oriented so that the spool will locate to the backside of the machine, just behind the display brace at the top of the printer.

A filament guide of some sort will be needed for guiding the filament downward, over the top of the printer. Choose one to your liking, or download mine here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4784280

This spool holder works well for me, and is compatible with the spool adapter I use on all of my printers. The fellow who designed the spool adapter I use is named jantzenday, and his model can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2387254

As I said, this spool holder works well on my Anet A8, with it's factory stile direct drive extruder. It is unlikely this spool holder will cooperate with a bowden extruder, however, I would be very interested to see photos of somebody who could make this work with a bowden setup. :)
