Anycubic I3 Mega Gantry Spool Holder Front Facing

thingiverse

This spool holder should bolt right onto the I3 Mega Gantry, If it also suitable if you have another mount currently on the gantry, for example, a gantry extruder mount. I could only find a single AnyCubic front facing spool gantry holder suitable for a extruder mounted to the gantry top. This was the one included with the FoX Gantry of where my extruder mount came. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4352064 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4319135 Sadly this was a) took a very long time to print b) didn't fit my Mega S c) didnt use any sort of bearing This is a new design i have put together with a few designed and a few remixed parts To make this design you will need - Printed Parts (M8 Cap is optional) - Either M8 Threaded bar or a atleast 140mm long M8 Bolt - Either 1 or 2 M8 Nuts (Nylon locking prefered) - M8 Sized washers - 2 608 bearings You can use a little heat, vice or press to push the bearings into the quick release, With the bar locking with washers each end. Once assembled, you would have an easy and quick to change spool holder with minimal drag ADDING REMIX TAG NOT WORKING Remixed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2357524 + https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3551666 EDIT Added a filament guide that can also bolt on top. If you find you need to redirect the filament when coming out. I've noticed some of my spools when they get to the very very end tend to get a little tight when being pulled down from the center of the spool
