Pivoting Side Mounted Spool Holder for the Ender 3 & Pro

thingiverse

Inspired by the new Creality CR6 SE, I've remixed my Side Mounted Spool Holder with a Pivot/Hinge. To be honest, I still get a lot of use and probably prefer the original design, but thought this might offer some further flexibility to others. Similar to the original thing, this is unashamedly over-engineered to provide a robust part. I hope it has as much strength as the original. I haven't tested extensively yet. Hardware In addition to the parts for the original thing, you will need one M5 x 35 mm Bolt, Nyloc nut and two M5 washers that may vary from 1 - 1.5 mm thick depending on printer settings and the amount of bridging layer removed during cleanup. Printing 1.This thing prints in one piece without supports but some bridging sacrificial layers/holes will require cleaning (see uploaded images). 2.This is quite a long print, taking anywhere from 2.5 to 10 hours, so I've also included a sample test print for the Node/Hinge area for you to gauge the washer requirements or if you need to tweak the file to suit your setup. I've also uploaded a Step file for further personalization. 3.Printed with Amazon Basics Blue PETG at 3 perimeters, 30% infill and a layer height of 0.2 mm @ 30 mms.
