Pivoting Side Mounted Spool Holder for the Ender 3 & Pro

Inspired by the new Creality CR6 SE I have remixed my Side Mounted Spool Holder with a Pivot\Hinge.

To be honest I still get a lot of use and probably prefer the original design but thought this might offer some further flexibility to others.

Similar to the original thing this is unashamedly over-engineered to provide a robust part. I hope it has strong has the original. I have not tested extensively yet.

Hardware

In addition to the parts for the original thing, you will require one M5 x 35 mm Bolt, Nyloc nut and 2 x M5 washers which may vary from 1 - 1.5 mm thick dependent on printer settings and the amount of bridging layer removed during clean up.

Printing

1.This thing prints in one piece without supports but some bridging sacrificial layers\holes will require cleaning (see uploaded images).

2.This is quite a long print from 2.5 -10 hours so I have also included a sample test print for the Node\Hinge area for you to gauge the washer requirements or if you need to tweak the file to suit your setup. I have also uploaded a Step file for further personalisation.

3.Printed with Amazon Basics Blue PETG. 3 perimeters, 30% Infill, 0.2 layer height @ 30mms.
