Ender 3 ball bearing spool holder sidemount

thingiverse

**MODEL** This is yet another spool holder for the ender 3. (should also work for ender 3 pro and maybe even the ender 5, but i cannot test that) It reduces the drag resistance of the filament spool nearly to zero and therefore you should not get any feeding problems anymore (no more filament grinding!) also you can save some space, because it can hang freely as seen in the picture. Beware that its possible to knock the spool over if family or a pet bumps into it, but its way more stable than you would think at first glance. **PRINTING** Beware, that this spool holder is work in progress since the parts are very big and barely fit on the build plate => if you use any clips to hold the build plate down, be sure to check if they wont be in the way before printing this its only possible to print the holder parts rotated at around 45° since they are so big :-) if i find the time i will try to shrink them down a little to make it easier to print. **PARTS NEEDED** 4 x 6001-2RS ball bearings wich are inserted into the rolls (see picture 3) 2 x Pole 2 x Roll 1 x Right part 1 x Left part (with or without cutout for the damper feet) if you want to use the damper feets im using heres the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3541279
