Creality Ender 5 Spool Holder Extension for Direct Drive Mod

thingiverse

Created to mount and extend the stock spool holder on top of Ender 5 machine for a direct drive extruder. Required: 2x 10-32 threaded insert short to mount spool holder on top. Same threads as bolts used with t slot lock nuts (can also drill hole straight through to use nut and bolt). Added Spool Insert (optional): Insert to reduce friction and force required to rotate the spool. Created this to use with the spool extension for my direct drive setup on my Ender 5. Larger heavier spools would put tension on the x/y moves causing random layer shifting.
