Ender 3 Spool Spacer

thingiverse

I finally found a solution that keeps my side mounted spool at a safe distance from my Ender 3's X stepper motor. To fill the excessive gap, I quickly designed and printed this fix. While it doesn't tighten the spool down enough, it prevents the roll from shifting too much along its length. The spool spins freely as needed, but stays securely in place without falling off easily. I'm extremely satisfied with this simple solution!
