Creality CR series filament holder

thingiverse

Description ======== This filament holder has been designed to improve the simple ABS tube distributed with Creality CR6-SE. It allows to install 3 or 4 608 bearings that will make the filament roll smoother. My main goal is to reduce the oscillations that occur while the filament advances, especially in parts of a model the need retraction. This filament holder doesn't dump all of them but it reduce them by a lot. The piece fits as the original one and can be used as replacement. Other CR printers may be able to use the piece as well. I have printed it keeping the bearings slots on the top, with support, because this reduces the amount of support materials. Other solution will work as well. *Thingiverse has trouble rendering some of the STL, those are however ok and don't cause any problem with common slicers* Print: ------ * 1 filament holder * 3 or 4 small bearing axes, according the model Updates: --- * A model with 4 bearing and smaller diameter end added, to support spools with smaller diameter * A model with 4 bearings has been uploaded, allowing to support better thin spools * After an initial upload the STL are now placed how I printed successfully.
