Ender 3 Filament Spool Extension
prusaprinters
<p>Wanted to make my own accessory to my Ender 3 Pro and ended up making a filament spool attachment for the stock spool for the Ender 3 series (I have no idea if the same cylinder/locking mold is used in the other Ender series). I'm still new to 3D printing so I don't have too many rolls of filament that need to be kept dormant in a drying bin, plus my room is well A/C regulated.</p> <p>Add-on acts as stock Lock Ring for stock spool holder, while having it's own spool holder for dual-action, or ease of swapping.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.12mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>100</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Sunlu PLA <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I kept in mind supports throughout the modeling process, so intended printing orientation is Lock Ring face down. That way the only support necessary will be for the two small peaks that lock the cylinders together, and can easily be removed with pliers/your finger nail. I didn't want the printer spending too much time printing supports over the entire thing, and additionally the hassle of removing them.</p> -- <p>I used 100% infill, lower it to your discretion, the cross beam in the center of the beam should provide adequate support for the piece.</p> <p>--</p> <p>The first print, 'LOOSE', had an error in dimensioning, so it is slightly loose when locked in, by about .05in, so instead I deem to call it an 'Ease of Filament Unwinding'</p> <p>The fixed file has been attached, labeled 'SNUG'</p> <p>--</p> <p>This piece has not been stress-tested with two 1Kg rolls, only about ~500g total.</p> </div></p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
