Ender 3 - Slide On Spool Extension with Embossed Logo Cap

thingiverse

I moved my reel to the side of the machine and wasn't getting the path in to the extruder that I liked, so I designed a slide on extension reel that simply slides over the existing reel and pushes flush to the end of the bracket. This gives the reel about 40mm more lateral movement towards the front which really helps filament alignment, and the finishing touch is the push fit logo emblazoned end cap. This can be fitted regardless of the position of the reel unless you have very specific side mount brackets. Overall, this really helped with the initial feed problems I was having, and it also looks jolly smart. If you want or need to, the spool extension can be removed at any time even when the printer is printing as it simply slides off. If you like this mod, please leave a like.
