Horizontal top mount spool holder w/ guide and spindles

thingiverse

Spool holder for mounting a filament spool horizontally on a standard crossbar such as used on the Creality Printers. Included: Spool holder (In the picture I left the supports on for added strength) Adjustable filament trap to ensure no uncoiling happens Spindles for the two most common spool center hole sizes Filament guide with clips for either a top bar mount or stabilizer bar mount Installation: 1) Remove one end cap and the side bar retaining bolts 2) Slide spool holder onto crossbar and replace retaining bolts 3) Install filament trap onto spool holder (requires 2 screws) loosely 4) Install correct spindle in filament spool and slide onto spool holder 5) Adjust filament trap until it's ~.5mm from the edge of the spool then remove the spool and tighten the screws. 6) Install filament guide with bolt or clip if using stabilizer bars Notes: The crossbar may or may not be tapped for a bolt. If not, a short, coarse thread machine screw can be used of the appropriate diameter or it can be tapped. Make sure you remove the side bar bolts before tapping. Tolerances on the guide clips are tight to reduce wiggle, if your printer is a bit sloppy you may need to do some sanding. Paying for my toddler's cancer treatment, so any tips would be appreciated!
