Creality CR-10 / CR-10S Extended Filament Holder for replacement or large filament rolls

thingiverse

I recently purchased a Stronghero3d filament and discovered that the roll drags on top of the controller box when using the stock filament holder. This problem doesn't seem uncommon after looking around online, many brands use larger filament rolls. I designed this model as a drop-in replacement for the original one, but it's about an inch taller. It also holds the filament closer to the center of the controller box for better balance. There are two options on the files: Print the arm, roller, and nut separately. They're all threaded and assemble easily, similar to the OEM holder. You can probably skip printing the nut. Alternatively, you can print the entire arm as a single piece. There are two variants: one with a chamfer on the roller near the edge, which removes the need for a tall support system. The other variant doesn't have a chamfer, so it will be shaped more like the OEM holder and may require supports. V1.1 (February 1, 2019) - I added chamfers to the thumb holds on the nut to make them significantly stronger. I also improved the bed-side of threaded openings to prevent elephant foot from causing threading issues. Finally, I changed the fillet to a chamfer inside the roller to prevent overhang angles from being exceeded.
