Spoolshaft for CR-10 x-stepper spool holder

thingiverse

I'm having trouble with my massive Creality CR-10 S5 due to a lack of space on my desk for the spool to clear the X stepper, so I flipped the spool holder bracket around, giving me plenty of room, but it was unstable as heck. I added some serious weight (literally), but that was just a temporary fix. I came across GRNTNKRL's awesome x-stepper spool holder, and after checking out a couple of its internal features, I realized I couldn't use the spool holder bracket shaft that came with my printer, so I designed one myself. This new design has a keying feature to match GRNTNKRL's part as well as lock the two halves together, preventing any rotation. This part can be through-bolted using 8mm, 6mm, 5/16", and even smaller fasteners. I made sure the hardware mounting faces accept large fender washers to help distribute the clamp load, so you won't have to worry about it getting loose. I highly recommend locking everything down to avoid any issues. I've included a picture of the support needed - just three tiny scaffolds that'll save you from wasting time and resources on getting these parts.
