Ender 5+ Spool and Extruder Top Mount

thingiverse

This moves the Spool and Extruder to a much easier location to access. With the Extruder sitting horizontally the Bowden tube may interfere with one to the microswitches so I made guide to ensure that would not occur. You may need a new Bowden Tube that's a few inches longer. It really depends on how much of your print bed area you utilize. To re-mount the Extruder horizontally an additional hole does need to me drilled in the bracket between the Extruder and the Filament Detector. I re-used the screws and t-nuts for the new mounting brackets. To re-mount the Spool I used the existing Spool mounting screws to mount the metal bracket to the top of the new Bracket Riser. For the Filament Roller Guide you'll need a bearing and some #6 screw. The hold in the part are threaded for #6-32 screws. I don't use it but I did make and additional support that can be mounted to the back using two #6 screws and a M4 or M5 screw with t-nut. Rev 1: I've added a remix of the "ENDER 5 Plus Harness Strain Relief". I wanted it to clamp on better and I increased the wall size of the wire bundle holder over the hot end. Because my version require screws to hold it together, the X Micro Switch needs to be re-mounted on it's side so a bracket is included for that also. I've also added a wire bundle holder.
