Ultimate Filament Spool Holder for Ender 3/5/5-Plus (20mm Rails)
Description
This is a complete mashup of multiple components I've used in the past for Ender and Wanhao printers. The principal was to make a top mounted, smaller format, swaying, easy rolling filament wheel to accommodate a direct drive extruder modification my Ender 5 Plus. This should work with any printer that is built using a 20mm extruded rail system for it's chassis.I'd recommend printing everything on it's flattest edge down and as little supports as necessary. Components you will need...
