Ender 3 / Ender 3 Pro Direct Drive Spool Holder

thingiverse

This design replaces the standard Ender 3/3 Pro spool holder to one suitable for use with a Direct Drive hot end. The original spool bracket is retained. In my case, I have a MicroSwiss direct drive which still used the original Bowden tube set-up. I cut the Bowden tube off 20mm above the hot end and fed the filament in directly from the spool on the spool holder. This both reduces friction and makes on-the-fly filament changes easy.
