Spool Holder Adapter - Wider Rolls

thingiverse

Revised 3/8/20 I'm using WideSpool_Roller.stl on my machine and it's working great. I recently bought some cheap filament from eBay that came on a very wide roll, which wouldn't fit with the original spool holder. It was too wide to even use the stock ender 3 spool holder. So, I created this part by fusing the original part with an enlarged version to extend the width of rolls you can use. This attaches in 2 pieces like the original and fits within the groove on the stock ender 3 holder to keep it from sliding off. Now, it will fit a large variety of rolls without being too wide and won't off center the spools as much as my original design did. Added 8/9/20 WideSpool_RollerWider.stl is a stretched version of the original (WideSpool_Roller.stl) that's about 20mm wider to fit even wider spools. I also added conespacer.stl, which will fit both the original file and the wider file to accommodate spools with a larger center diameter. Print off a pair and one goes on each side of the spool. WideSpool_RollerLargerCenter.stl is basically the same original file with an enlarged diameter to fit spools with a larger center diameter. It's got the same overall "width" as the original. WideSpool_RollerWiderLarger.stl combines the newer files with a adapter that fits wider spools as well as spools with a large center hole diameter.
