Description

I've been buying more cardboard spools when available to reduce some of my plastic waste but they tend to get caught on the standard spool holder.  When I had my ender I found a 608 bearing spool holder so I tracked down a similar model for the voron and it's been working wonderfully except my printer is too close to the wall and the added length made changing spools difficult so I wanted to switch to a top mount spool.  Thus we have this mashup. I made this for the Voron 2.4r2 but it should work for any printer with 20x20 t-slot extrusions.

The top mount was based on the linked file on printables  by @RadRacer (https://www.printables.com/model/227260-voron-24-top-mount-single-dual-spool-holder) and the bearing spool holder is the 75mm drum from deathrow360 on thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5424091)

I had to flip the prongs on the mounting for the top spool bracket since it wouldn't mount flush to the 20x20 extrusions so I would recommend printing this with supports on those prongs.  The tab from @RadRacer's design allows it to replace a panel clip where you mount it.

Printing instructions:

  • Print 1x of the spool holders depending on your need, 
    • I printed in ABS at the standard voron specs
    • Paint on or turn on supports on for the prongs, they aren't necessary anywhere else
  • Print 1x 75mm drum from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5424091/files (two if you're printing the dual holder)
  • Install two 608 bearings, one on either side of the drum
  • Rest the drum in the cage
  • Attach the spool holder to the frame using an M5x10 bolt and an M5 t-nut
