Sidewinder X2 Spoolmount

prusaprinters

No matter which Artillery Sidewinder X2 review I saw - all, myself included are unhappy with the original Artillery Filament spool holder.It is wobbly, tends to fall apart, and the filament sensor holder is awkwardly positioned.Thats why I designed my own one which can be simply plugged on.Features Centered everything (Spool centered Front/Back/Left/Right, Filament-Sensor feedthrough centered to the middle of the spool, Feedthough is also nearly on a line with the extruder in Y-Axies)Reusing the original Rollers, Bearings, ScrewsReusing the original Filament Sensor and its holderClampmount for the Sidewinder X2 plastic connection barPressfit. No additional Glue or Screws neededEasy to print and assembleSupports 250g-1100g roles. 2kg should also fit  (but never tested it in real, leave a comment if this works too)AssembleSee picturesBe sure your printer does not over extrude filament. For the pressfit there is a tolerance of just 0.1mmPut one of the sides on a flat table, press it carfully to the bottom part (use the correct side!). Use a hammer and something in between and push it very carfully together until both parts are flush. Only push and hammer vertically that you don't break the part while assembling. Optional, you mount the roller bearings and rollers before pressfit both sides completely. Then you save the careful bending open of the two sidesRepeat the same procedure with the other side.If not done already, install the bearings and carefully bend the two sides apart while inserting the rollers.Install the filament sensor. Just reuse the original Screw and holderPlug it onto your printerHave fun.I would be very happy to see your makes of that!And feel free to comment.Like it?Buy me a coffee
