Creality CR-10 Filament holder version_1+CR-10 mount unit

thingiverse

Hello! This is a custom-made filament holder designed for use with the CR-10 printer. To use this filament holder, simply attach it to the upper part of your CR-10 printer. After completing a print job, you may need to make some fine adjustments using a bar rasp to ensure optimal performance. Keep in mind that you might need to increase the rigidity of your CR-10 printer to get the best results from this filament holder. As I'm currently testing the filament holder, so far it seems to be working without any issues! Additional Information Introduction: To address some problems with the original filament holder, I came up with a brand-new CR-10 mount unit. (See Fig.7) This new mount can be used in multiple ways, which I believe will help reduce the fluctuations in the filament folder. By studying the principle of the pulley and minimizing unnecessary shaking of the filament, I think we can achieve better results. (Check out Fig.1) Important: When using this filament holder, please refer to Fig.4 for guidance. Experimental Results: As you can see in Fig.7, on the left side is my custom-made filament holder in action. On the right side is the original filament holder attached to the CR-10 printer. The results show that there are no issues with using this new filament holder. I'm looking forward to exploring even better mechanisms in the future! Thanks for reading, and I hope you find this information helpful! Development History: During development, we noticed that the cable connecting the power supply and Z-axis motor was a bit too short. When trying to bring the power supply device closer, it would collide with the filament case. To resolve this issue, we decided to attach the filament case to the top of the printer. Since there were no spare parts available, such as screws, we used the existing frame structure of the CR-10 printer instead.
