FlashForge Creator Pro 2017 Front Loading Spool Holders

myminifactory

I purchased a FlashForge Creator Pro 2017 for my business and was frustrated by the difficult-to-reach rear spool holders that seemed cumbersome. Unable to find an acceptable alternative, I decided to design my own solution. These new spool holders attach securely to the printer using four existing screws on top and one screw on the side. Each holder requires a 63-inch length of 6mm diameter PTFE tubing to route the filament smoothly to the hot end. Available from Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A42FZY4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, I have only installed one spool holder so far since I optimized my machine for fast ABS printing. After many hours of use, the spool holder has performed flawlessly, and I'm confident it will be beneficial to other makers using their FFCP 2017 to produce large quantities of parts. If you have any suggestions for enhancements, please don't hesitate to let me know.
