Mendel Feed Spool (Q38001)

This is a RepRapable feed spool for Mendel or with slight modification any printer. The design sits on top of the Mendel using y-bar clamps to hold it on. It could easily be made with normal vertexes on the bottom and be stand alone. The frame vertex is a adaptation of Vik's Footed Parametric Frame Vertex http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2003. You could use standard vertexes and just add washers. Be sure to check out pictures and more information about my Mendel @ http://reprapbreeding.blogspot.com/ This has now been tested with a 5lb roll of PLA on it and it works very well. I added some more pictures showing this. I also have a video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFcND7u_Sqk showing it in action (while printing in PLA that glows under black light)
