Ender 3 pro filament side mount

prusaprinters

<p>A set of parts to relocate the filament spool from the top of the ender 3 to the side.</p> <p>Most side mounts seem to have the filament perpendicular to the machine vastly increasing the footprint. This one has the filament parallel to the machine with a filament guide.</p> <p>The mount was created with topographic design so there is a cavity on the inside. I used Cura's tree supports and had no problem removing them from inside.</p> <p>The filament guide helps to make sure the filament doesn't bind on parts and is straight before entering the extruder. It is hinged with a spring to make sure it is the correct angle throughout z-axis travel. I just used a spring out of retractable pen and it works fine.</p> <p>Additional parts needed:</p> <ul> <li>small spring (from retractable pen) needs to be ~28mm long with an I.D. greater than 3mm</li> <li>m4x16 bolt</li> <li>608 bearing or two washers and print the no bearing roller</li> <li>paper clip, this will be the pin for the hinge</li> </ul> <p>For the guide there are two options, with and without the bearing. I've had no issues without a bearing but if you would like to use one there's the option.</p> <p>Without bearing files:</p> <ul> <li>roller-no-bearing.STL</li> <li>hinge.STL</li> <li>mount.STL</li> </ul> <p>With bearing files:</p> <ul> <li>roller-bearing.STL</li> <li>2x bearing spacer.STL</li> <li>hinge.STL</li> <li>mount.STL</li> </ul> <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</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>200</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> PolyMaker PLA <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><ul><li>The mount needs a support for the spring mount</li> The bracket needs support, make sure to print it with the rails parallel to the print bed but not on it. </ul></div></p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
