Overengineered Ender-3 Side Spool Mount

thingiverse

This is a remix of a remix(Ender-3 Side Spool Mount -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2967567) of Spool Holder Adaptor(Ender 3 Filament Spool Holder Adaptor v01 Fixed for S3D -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2964818) It is a bit overengineered, so it can withstand really heavy spools without breaking and it is very solid. I had a problem with Side version, where those T nuts chewed sides of alumium extrusion, so I have designed this. You need: 2x stock M5x10 screws 2x M5 nut (up to) 16x M5x12 screws (up to) 16x T-nut for 2020 extrusion First insert both nuts into their slots from side. There are 4 rows of 4 holes around the L shape that sits on extrusion. Put all your M5x12 screws into those holes and on the side of the extrusion screw your T-nuts. You don't need to populate all 16 holes, I bought only 10 sets(M5x12 screws + T-nut) and it worked very good. From the back side of your printer slide whole assembly on the extrusion and tighten those M5x12 screws so that this Mount sits securely in it's place. Now you just need to put on the metal part of the stock spool holder and use those 2 M5x10 screws to screw it onto this mount. Done! There is Inventor file in the Thing Files section so you can customize it freely. Please share your makes or customizations
