Ender 3 - Filament holder DELUXE - 2020 mounts (remix to use with 5/16" threaded bar)

thingiverse

I remixed a part (mounting_bracket.stl) from Skrutt84's outstanding "Filament Holder Deluxe" to allow mounting the filament holder to a 2020 extrusion. There are two versions depending on the mounting setup required: **mounting-bracket-2020-5-16-2C.stl** This one is straightforward and just mounts to the face of the 2020. **mounting-bracket-5-16-in-remix-3B-w2020.stl** And this one moves the mount to the side, which is what I needed for my printer. Both mounts are compatible with the following 5/16" threaded bar from Lowes (which costs about a dollar and comes pre-cut to 6"): https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-5-16-in-x-6-in-Standard-SAE-Threaded-Rod/3127747 They should also work with M8 hardware, similar to the original version. If you want to use the 5/16" threaded bar, just pick up some 5/16" locknuts and washers, and you'll be good to go. You will need to print the rest of the original parts from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3114139 I printed all the parts for the spool holder with three walls at 0.1mm layer height. I think I used 30% or more infill. The extension nut (extension-nut-5-16in-2G.stl) is designed to make it easier to start the threaded filament nut on the spool holder. The 5/16" nut is pressed into the extension nut, and then that's used with a washer in the same way as without using the part. A 7/8" fixed wrench can be used to help tighten it down. The 5/16" nuts are a bit of a tight fit, I pressed them in using my vice and used a socket as a spacer, but a few taps from a hammer would also work. Enjoy, and post your makes if you make one.
