Toucan Quad Spool Holder for Creality Cr10 Ender 3 Etc

thingiverse

After discovering the incredibly popular Quad Spool Holder had a slight flaw, where the filament was forced over too tight an angle at the extruder, I decided to redesign the riser to overcome this without adding extra parts. So for your filament dispensing needs, I present the Toucan spool holder. Taking inspiration from nature's evolved lines and curves, something about birds... aerodynamics? basically, I didn't just make up the name when almost finished because it looked a bit like a toucan, or should I say Fourcan, because it uses four spools? You'll need: 1x Riser, 1x Round Spool Holder, 2x Square Spool Holders, and 4x Spool nuts. If you already have the dual holder, just get 1x Riser, 1x Round Spool Holder, 1x Square Spool Holder, and 3x Spool nuts. A copy of the Creality nuts by Eckaat96 can be found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2944665, but don't worry, I've included my big nut for you to download and play with. Fixings: 2x M4 x14 Machine Screw, 2x M4 Rail (hammer head) Nut. I designed it around these as I had spare fixings with my Ender 3, hopefully, you'll have them too. Note: One nut is required as a back nut on the standard round spool holder. I've also included a round holder with a stop, which negates the need for the nut but does need supports, so make your own mind up which one you prefer. The filament guides are sized to take ptfe tube, and the annoying bit inside the guide that makes it harder to pass the filament through is meant to be there as a stop for the ptfe tube to prevent it from being pulled through. So remember when you try to push the filament through for the ninth time, it's a feature!
