Filament Enclosure Based on Creality CR-10S Pro, Creality Ender 3 Filament Holder

This enclosure for filament uses a circular transparent container that I found in stores, specifically designed to hold a 1Kg spool of filament. The box features sloping side walls with an angle of 3 degrees. The enclosure adapts the printer's vendor-supplied filament holder provided by Creality CR-10S Pro printers. It is also believed that this same holder comes with Ender 3 printers, however, this needs to be confirmed first. To install the enclosure, a circular hole must be drilled in the box matching the size of the holder's shaft. Then it is secured using the Tube Adapter. The shaft's locking nut should be slightly modified to accommodate the original black bracket and the new transparent box. The spool is attached to the Tube Adapter with 2 fittings (Roller Adapters) and secured by a locking nut. There is no threading for this nut, relying solely on friction to hold it in place, which proves sufficient. An additional metal bracket was added to the holder since it was installed on the top of a cabinet. The weight of the construction is substantial, so extra stiffness was created to prevent any potential issues. A side hole must be drilled into the box for installing the angular filament leader.
