Ender 5 Plus Direct Drive Mods, Spool Holder and Wire Management

thingiverse

I made the spool holder with bearings so the filament spool would turn smoothly. The roller wheel guides the filament to the filament out detector. I feed a little extra bowden tube through the bottom of the pneumatic fitting to make it easier to feed the filament into the bowden tube. For wire management I made the wire bundle holders. The parts are broken up to be able to print all the parts without supports for cleaner prints. All screw holes are threaded for the screws listed below. The Spool holder does require a nut for the 3/8" bolt for extra strength. Because some filament spools have a smaller hole, I've make the smaller sleeve to use with those types of spools. I've provided a drawings and pictures that shows how to assemble all the parts.
