Inland 1Kg Filament Spool Holder

thingiverse

I am not crazy about the spool holder on the Creality printers especially for the 1kg spools, so I created a bearing supported version designed to use the existing Creality CR-6 SE and Ender 2 Pro spool arm. I noticed one of the biggest issues with the larger filament and the factory spool hanger was the kickback on the 1kg spool when the extruder fed and retracted quickly. This caused a slight hesitation as the motor overcame the weight of the spool. Knowing the inherent weakness in the CR-6 extruder design, I decided to make this one of my first improvements. ***Update*** - 11/30/22 (Version 2 added with updated design) **Version 2** Updates the spool with a flange to keep the reel from sliding off and add seats for the roller bearings. It also integrates the rod into the adapter as one 3D part and adds a washer and clip to keep the spool on the rod. *(Images 1-7)* *Requires* - Inland_Roll_Spool_Holder_v2.stl - Inland_Roll_Spool_Rod_v2.stl - washer_20x13x2mm.stl - clip.stl - 2x R8-2RS bearings **Version 1** Original design utilizes a metal rod instead of a 3D printed assembly and a simpler spool holder. *(Images 8-12)* *Requires* - Inland_Roll_Spool_Holder.stl - Inland_Roll_Spool_Rod.stl - 2x R8-2RS bearings - 1/2" metal rod or shaft Diameter of the spool core is 2.14in (54.36mm).
