Top mounted angled spool mount

thingiverse

I created this top mount to help feed the extruder at a less harsh angle. There are plenty of side mounted spool holders but I do not have any room off the side of my printer. This attachment will slide onto the top rail and does not require any additional hardware. The tolerances are very tight so there is no rocking even without any additional bolts. Since the tolerances are so tight it does require some sanding to fit into the end of the rail. It can also be scaled down a bit to help with the tightness. Install: Remove the top rail by removing the 2 bolts on either side. Slide the model onto the rail until it is on the side of the rail that is closest to the extruder. Slide the 2 nuts from the spool holder into the slots on the back of the model. Bolt the spool holder to the holes located on the slope. Reattach the top rail to the printer.
