Topic: Snap in axle spool holder.

So posted a new addon to Thingiverse today.  Snap in axle spool holders, no more having to unscrew parts to change spools.

Re: Snap in axle spool holder.

I like the use of the support angles for some load distribution on the uprights...

But I'm curious - What normally needs to be unscrewed ? On the SD3 its a simple slide on/off end-cap.. have I missed something ?

Re: Snap in axle spool holder.

Was refering to these, you pretty much have to loosen one side to change spools.
