Ender 3 Spool Retainer

prusaprinters

<p>Not sure if anyone else will find this useful, but after printing the Ender 3 Spool Holder Sidemount by Adrenalinez (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3564351">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3564351</a>) I decided to mount it upside down on the printer's frame to solve a clearance issue. This put the spool a bit closer to the motors than I would like and it was getting caught on them when the spool drifted to the end of the holder. To solve this, I printed this part to force the spool to sit towards one end of the roller and to help prevent spools with large holes in them from coming off the end.</p> <p>It's designed to take a small #4-40 x 3/4in machine screw and matching nut. The hole is sized so that you can press the nut in or melt it in for a solid fit.</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>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>50% (Triangle)</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> YouSu PLA+ Black</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Infill type is entirely optional, I used 50% to make the part stronger so that I could clamp it on tighter and use it as a handle to remove the spool holder when changing filament rolls.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
