CR-10S - On-Printer Spool Holder Mount

thingiverse

This is an alternate mounting system designed specifically for the Hictop CR-10S spool holder. Unlike traditional attachment methods, this innovative mount allows you to secure it directly onto the printer's frame, eliminating the need for attachments to the control box. The mount features inserts that match the CR-10S' X-shaped lateral grooves, enabling a snug and effortless fit when printed with high-quality precision. This design ensures a secure hold without requiring excessive force, while the spool's leverage keeps it firmly in place. By attaching the spool holder to the printer frame rather than the control box, you'll experience a much tighter system overall. The filament is no longer connected to two potentially moving components, resulting in a more precise and stable setup. Even when the printer or control box is moved, the spool remains at a consistent position relative to the extruder infeed. This mounting system also offers a significant advantage in terms of workspace efficiency. By relocating the control box to a tighter spot, you'll free up valuable space on your work area, allowing for improved workflow and reduced clutter.
