Filament Enclosure Based on Creality CR-10S Pro, Creality Ender 3 Filament Holder

thingiverse

This is a filament enclosure based on a circular transparent box i found in store, suitable to contain a roll of 1Kg filament. The box has side walls sloped with 3 degrees angle. The enclosure adapts the printer's vendor supplied filament holder that comes with Creality CR-10S Pro printer. I believe, that the same holder is supplied with Ender 3 also, but this has to be checked first. In order to install the enclosure, a circular hole has to be drilled in the box, at a size of holder's shaft. Then it is being tightened by the Tube Adapter. The shaft's locking nut has to be filed a little, in order to accommodate the original black bracket + the new transparent box. The spool is installed on the Tube Adapter with 2 fittings (Roller Adapter) and tightened by a locking nut. There is no threading for this one. It is settled by good friction only, which is enough. I added additional metal bracket to the holder, as I installed the holder on a cabinet's top. The weight of the construction is pretty big, so I wanted to create some extra stiffness. A side hole has to be opened in the box, in order to install the angular filament leader.
