Creality CR-6SE Top Mounted Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

A mount for [Filler - The Customizable Filament Holder that fills your printer!](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020026) by [HugoHuge](https://www.thingiverse.com/HugoHuge). It fits the Creality CR-6SE and should also work for other printers that use a similar 2020 v-slot frame. I used the shortened versions of the [holder](https://www.thingiverse.com/download:8739737) and [roller](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/a3/15/29/83/17/ROLLER.stl) from [Top Filament Holder 2020 6SE, Ender 3, CR-10, Chiron](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4610992) At the time I made this I didn't have a suitable t-nuts so I designed this mount to use [T-nut M3 drop-in rotating V-Slot](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:305060). You'll need to print 2 of those and also need 2 x M3x16mm screws. There are 2 versions, one with a tongue to fit into the v-slot and one without. The one with tongue supposedly increases stability (maybe it does so marginally) and requires support - it is also the one I printed. FreeCAD file is included if you want to make changes. Update: 2021-12-19 ---------------------------- Having used this for a little while I noticed that the spool started drooping and the holder was starting to bend slightly. It could be due to a combination of old filament (I had to dehydrate it to make it printable) and not enough walls/infill (I was able to flex the walls by squeezing them). I modified the design adding a bit of support for the filament holder and printed it using 20% infill but increasing the number of walls (4) and infill (30%) at critical places like the screw holes. These settings uses about twice the filament but the result feels solid and hefty. This new file is *cr6se-filament_mount-v4-tongue.stl* In the pictures it is the one printed in blue. Supports are needed. If you don't want to use supports you could lower the object by 6mm (set Z to -6mm), this prevents the tongue that sits in the 2020 groove from being printed.
