This model is so simple that I feel sheepish uploading it, but since I published a YouTube video about the make, here it is. A printed edge/lip attached to wooden dowel rod in making filament spool holder.

NOTE: I designed the print before I sorted out which screw I would use, so I printed with enough perimeter walls to allow the center hole to be drilled out larger, which I ended up doing just that.

Cool. Have you a video about your DIY panel saw?

I think so… will try to check

Well found this. It is probably not as much detail as one would hope.

“Wall-mounted Panel Saw - custom sliding rig - cuts steel, just about anything”

Thanks. Very interesting.

Hey, I just remembered that, even though I did not make a detailed video on the making of it, I did chronicle it on a thread here in the forum. Here’s a link:

I also did a LR2 based panel saw

There are some pics here. It works well.
