Summary

Recently, I purchased some new PLA material and found out that the spool’s that hold the PLA have changed. They are now more narrow and with a larger OD. This larger OD interferes with the power and USB Connectors on the back of my MakerBot. So, I decided to move the spool to a new location.

Just print the Main Mounting Bracket (2.5hrs on low print settings) and mount to the table in position you want. I elected to mount it perpendicular to the back. Use OEM Spool Bracket and attach to the new Main Mounting Bracket.

Note; the Main Mounting Bracket is tall enough to accommodate the new spool OD. But, if you have any parts mounted to OD of the spool; just print the extra Spacer part (55min’s on low print settings) to lift spool extra 1/2" higher.
