Upgraded Spool Holder (MOST Delta: Athena)

This upgraded spool holder is made to be fully compatible with the current wire holding mount hardware included with the Athena Printer. The edges are rounded instead of square for better rolling/sliding on the surface. Also the larger radius on the upgraded holder is stronger than the original spool holder.

Printing

The stiffness of the component is driven by the infill percentage. Adjust as necessary to achieve your desired characteristics.

Print Parameters Utilized
- Layer Thickness: 0.2mm
- Skin Thickness: 1.0mm
- Top/Bottom Thickness: 0.5mm
- Temperature: 180C
- Speed: 80mm/s (60mm/s outer contour)
- Flow: 100%
- Infill: 50%

Other Sound Dampening Techniques

The default U,V,W motor acceleration is 4000mm/s. You can uniformly decrease this to any lesser value to quiet the quick movements of the motors / bearings.
Utilizing a heavy weight grease on the guide rods seems to reduce the vibrations of the quick bearing movements.

 ===Design===
-OpenSCAD was utilized for all modeling operations. The MOST-Athena GitHub file repository is located [https://github.com/phidiasllc/athena here]. The motor-end assembly was imported into OpenSCAD and the part was designed to accommodate the geometrical constraints of the parts provided to [[MY4777]].
