QIDI X-Max 3 side spool holder

prusaprinters

This is a spool holder to attach filament rolls on the side of a QIDI X-Max 3 printer.I created it to be compatible to the modular tool holder of @humebeam which unfortunately didnt hold well on my X-Max 3 printer (see https://www.printables.com/de/model/59201-qidi-x-max-modular-tool-holder )So my insert may hold better if you are using more or heavier tools if you also have trouble with this :) It works with even the widest spools I had in stock + more space (see pictures), so I hope every spool will work.All parts can be printed with no support. Whats so nice about this?I really like, that its easily accessible and changing filament spools can be done really quickly.Its a big plus, that you can still keep the original spool box on the back side.So for PLA, PETG, ASA/ABS, TPU and “normal” filaments I use the side spool holder.For nylon and other more demanding materials I use the back side, so its really as usable as possible for me - and I hope you enjoy it too :) What you need:print every part once4x M3 screws (I recommend a length between 30-50mm)(recommended) One 90mm piece of 4mm bowden tube (but its not needed. you can simply mount if upside down, if you dont have a spare bowden)(optional) 4 small pieces of double sided tapeI recommend using 4 small pieces of double sided tape at the locations shown in the pictures.This increases friction and makes it very sturdy. The "tensioner" was printed in TPU but I think it might be possible to print it as the rest in PLA (which I did). If you have trouble, please leave a comment and I will modify it :)
