3kg Filler spool holder for Ender 5 Plus

thingiverse

A "filler" type spool holder that can hold 3 kg of filament on the back of the Ender 5 Plus, without interfering with the printbed. It does not protrude further at the back of your printer than the x-axis motor, so the footprint of the machine remains the same. It attaches to the back-left vertical profile with 4xM5 8 or 10mm screws with v-slot nuts. The connector is designed for use with 2xM5 slotted nuts and your original screws, but you can also use the original screws for the Creality spool holder arm. I printed mine in PLA at 35% cubic infill and it seems to work fine. To be on the safer side to avoid it drooping over time, use PETG or PC, and go up to 50% infill or above. Print all parts with normal supports from build-plate only. Place nuts in slots. Push the plug in the hole (super tight fit!). Add two 608 bearings (super loose fit!). I redrew all parts from scratch, but the concept is a remix of the following great models: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3222112 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020026 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4391940
