Ender 5 Top Mount Spool Holder
Description
NOTE: 16 Oct. 2020 released version 3C of filament cover and top (2 x small prints) to remove grinding noise of filament rubbing on top and opening of cover. 29 Sept 2020. Version 3b of filament runout guide released (photos of guide in black PLA). Due to space limitation between filament roll and extruder, guide was redesigned to mount vertically so microswitch trigger sits flat. Top lid attaches with screw to swivel open allowing easier access to filament. Requires 1 x M3 8mm OR 1 x M3 12mm and nut. Recommend bending slight curve downwards on end of microswitch trigger. NOTE: 24 July 2020. Version 2 released. The main holder is the same as V1 however it has extra support to attach a fixing (screw and T nut) on the rear horizontal bar for added strength and no longer has the oval shaped filament guide as part of it. The V2 design features a modular design with attachment holes where you can optionally print and choose to attach either: - Open filament guide - Closed loop guide - Filament run out guide To add the desired attachment, press the tab end into the hole on top of the holder first then press down to clip the bottom tab in. Ender 5 Top Mount Spool Holder to fit on top of D_jespersens corner rail covers as per: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3412007 And also to work with IamSlys Extruder Arm: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3595328 I also recommend running my spool align support and D_jespersens spool clamp with this design to help keep the spool straight: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4407075 The top mount spool holder is designed specifically to minimise desk space and also minimise filament travel distance. In my case the Ender 5 sits on the right side of my computer desk and the standard spool mount takes up quite a bit of space to the right of the Ender 5 frame. This spool holder sits a lot higher and out of the way but is still convenient to reach specifically if you have a small desktop footprint. I also run the LCD screen relocate mod by thongg to bring the screen inside the Ender frame https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3936378 Check out my other designs for the Ender 5: - LED Light Bar: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4306508 - Rpi Camera Mount: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4314350 - Z Axis Brackets: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4320083 - Spool align support: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4407075 - Click-on Fan cover: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4743126 - Scraper Holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4610960 If you like it, click Like!
