CR-10S Pro Filiment Dispenser

thingiverse

This filiment holder/dispenser is designed to fit snugly onto a Creality CR-10 S pro 3D printer using the OEM angle bracket and quick disconnect nut, providing a seamless integration. Three 22mm bearings are utilized, which can be sourced from local dollar stores, pound land, or 100 yen shops for an affordable price of just $1. The generic design is tailored to accommodate Hatchbox filiment spools, ensuring smooth operation. The holder's design enables various types of filiment spools to be held securely, but it works exceptionally well with Hatchbox filiment. However, this may result in the spool spinning so easily that it unspools itself when pulled too quickly from the coiled filiment. After six months of usage, I noticed that the nut became loose, which is easily remedied by applying tape between the nut and bearing holder. To enhance printer stability, consider mounting the bracket on a bookshelf next to your printer. This setup provides added support and ensures smooth operation. To mitigate the unspooling issue, try reversing the spool orientation. As noticed in the picture, the Hatchbox label is not visible when installed with the label facing upwards, resulting in continuous unspooling. Flipping the spool over typically resolves this issue, allowing for controlled unspooling of about 2 coils at a time without creating drag on the extruder.
