Canted Spool Arm

thingiverse

This is a mini filament spool arm that should fit all Ender series mounts (as far as I know), although I designed it specifically for my Ender 3 S1 Plus, which has top-mounted filament spools. The arm is a smaller diameter to accommodate smaller spools that don't fit on a regular-sized peg. Any spool down to an inside diameter of 26mm will easily fit. There are two versions: 1) The basic (lame) version which is the same as a stock peg, but smaller (fits on the same mount). The problem I had with this one is that the filament guide is offset so far to the side that the filament scrapes the side of the spool, which I didn't like so I created the canted version... 2) The canted (awesome) version guides the filament nicely into the guide with no friction. It is printed in two parts and is designed to require the fewest supports possible - only needed on the base. To assemble the parts, just press them together and twist until they are flush. Use a small dab of glue if you want but I didn't need to. IMPORTANT: You will need to create a cross section of thin support blockers like in the pictures or you won't be able to get the supports off. I did this for you in the included GCODE files if you're lazy like me.
