Filament Spool Holder and Guide

thingiverse

The Ord Bot Hadron comes with a flawed filament management system, so I took matters into my own hands and built this straightforward system to improve upon it. At its core, the setup includes a standalone spool holder attached by screws to an installation rail above the left vertical track on the machine's frame, requiring only minimal modifications - the simple act of drilling holes and tapping M5 screws to secure the guide in place. The filament seamlessly feeds up through specialized supports on the X axis motor stands before flowing through the built-in guide all the way to the carriage. With an additional zip tie strategically positioned, this solution effectively keeps the filament from causing unwanted friction on the drive belt during printing processes. By design, this setup works optimally with full-size Protoparadigm spools, though its compact dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of sizes, not limited by any particular brand or supplier constraints.
