Ultimate Filament Spool Holder for Ender 3/5/5-Plus (20mm Rails)

thingiverse

This is a complete mashup of multiple components I've used in the past for Ender and Wanhao printers. The principal was to make a top mounted, smaller format, swaying, easy rolling filament wheel to accommodate a direct drive extruder modification my Ender 5 Plus. This should work with any printer that is built using a 20mm extruded rail system for it's chassis.I'd recommend printing everything on it's flattest edge down and as little supports as necessary. Components you will need... Base Unit 1- 608zz bearing (Fidget Spinner or Skate Board Bearings, standard size) 1- M5 screw about 22mm 1- M5 T nut (for mounting bearing in base) 4- M4 nuts about 20mm (for mounting base on 2020 extrusion) 4- M4 T nuts (for mounting base on 2020 extrusion) 6- M3 screws 16mm (for bearing assembly) 6- M3 nuts (for bearing assembly) 3- M3 screws about 5mm (for filament guide assembly) 2- M4 screws (replace the 5mm ones on the spool arm) 2- M4 nuts (captured in the 608zz plate to hold the spool arm on) Spool Itself (uses M8 or 5/16, must choose all of one or the other) 2x 608zz bearings (Fidget Spinner or Skate Board Bearings, standard size) 2x M8 or 5/16 nuts 1x M8 or 5/16 nylon lock nut 3x M8 or 5/16 washers 1x M8 or 5/16 spring/lock washer 1x M8 or 5/16 threaded rod, 150mm long (5.5-6 inches) Video for installing the spool components on a Wanhao D6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHEdI9wCILc Other screws and such will be needed elsewhere but were not yet tallied before posting this.
