Filament Holder - Hexagon Table Side Design

thingiverse

I needed a filament spool holder similar to the design given here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020026/But i needed mine to mount to the side of the desk that my printer sits on. I didn't like how the Ender out of the box feeds the filament so sharp into the feed stepper motor. So this design allows for direct feed into the motor without the sharp angle. Great design for those looking to mount to a table or adjacent wall. I am a big fan of the Hexagon style and design so I incorporated into the overall design. Because the support brackets are so big i had to break apart the files into: Roller Housing Mount and Support Bracket 1. Then i just glued them together with some JB weld. Then i just used some size 8x1 wood screws through the specified holes to mount it directly into the wood. I also incorporated into this design the use of ball bearings that increase the spools ability to roll and allowing for smoother feed. If you need some help locating the materials, here are the ones that i used:Ball Bearings: https://amzn.to/45sPDcFJB Weld: https://amzn.to/48OfP4FScrews: https://amzn.to/3FfnMlM if you want a variety packhttps://amzn.to/3PXFdwb if you want just the 8x1
