Creality CR-10 Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is a custom-made ball bearing filament spool holder designed specifically for the Creality CR-10, but its versatility allows it to be adapted for other uses as well. The holder relies on a M30x1.5 nut that can be sourced from the CR-10 and reused. There are three distinct files available for printing, which can also be combined into a single consolidated file for a more efficient print job. To assemble the spool holder, start by placing the bearing shafts into their respective bearings before dropping them into the spool holder. Next, slide the spool holder tube over the top to secure it in place. Finally, attach the assembly to the bracket using the CR-10's stock M30x1.5 nut. This design utilizes two standard 608 ZZ bearings for smooth operation. **Note: due to its smooth rolling mechanism, a full roll of filament may unwind on its own - I'm currently exploring ways to add back some friction to prevent this issue.
