Ender 3 - Spool Holder Adapter for DD - tilted

prusaprinters

<p>This is an adapter for the original Ender 3 (possibly other Creality printers aswell) spool holder arm, that is rotated by 90deg so the filament is pointing to the front of the printer for Direct Drive.</p><p>It is also tilted backwards by 40deg so that the spool is not sticking out above the extrusion, limiting the space for the extruder stepper motor in max Z.</p><p>Print it with enough perimeters (I used 5) and higher infill (70%+) as there will be a lot of torsion due to the off center spool. Best printed in PETG.</p><p><strong>Hardware needed:</strong></p><p>Extrusion → Adapter:</p><ol><li>2x M5x12 bolt (pan, round head, not countersunk) - bolt head max 8mm diameter</li><li>2x M5 extrusion nut</li></ol><p>Adapter → Spool holder:</p><ol><li>2x M5x20 bolt (not countersunk, can be longer, there is enough space) - bolt head max 10mm diameter</li><li>2x M5 washer</li><li>2x M5 nut</li></ol><h5>If you like this, please consider giving it a like and posting your make.</h5><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Print Settings</h4><p><strong>Printer Brand: </strong>Creality&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printer: </strong>Ender 3 Pro</p><p><strong>Supports: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Resolution</strong>: 0.24</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong>80</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
