Ender 3 Side Spool Holder with Filler Filament Holder

thingiverse

This is a remix of side spool holder by Zachary101078 and also includes a modified base/mount by Elproducts. I really liked this design but I always use the Filler spool holder so I made this one compatible with two spool holders or you can choose the direction it faces. I also modified the mount to allow the spool to go either direction. I did not like being limited to only folding it back. I included both versions of the mount with and without the guide. The mount also required really long screws and nuts which I did not have or like so I modified it to take two M4 screws instead. It holds really secure for me. For the holder I made some changes so that the foot can be adjusted and printed separately. The base model did not have the foot the correct length for my printer and caused it to sag. You just need to adjust the length of it and print then secure with two screws. I printed the holder first then measured and printed. I tried to print the holder with the Filler mount already part of the structure but I had fitment issues and it requires supports which were difficult to remove. It resulted in the layers separating when putting the Filler holder in. This is why the Filler holder is detached to be printed separately. Some sanding may be required to fit it to the holder as I made it a tight fit on purpose. You can secure with screws and nuts or just a threaded insert instead. The threaded insert can be put on either side of the holder. Everything is already positioned the way I printed them. I used supports that touch the build plate only. I used no supports for the holder. I included two of the Filler mounts. One has a flush top and the other keeps the round appearance.
