Description

My first serious model in fusion360, it has evolved over the months into the solid version you see here.

The Bracket mounts securely to the original mounting points and the original metal holder goes in the side and is easily removed if you want. Two m3x16mm screws attach to the mounting points, a length of PTFE sweeps around to the rear connection. There is little advantage having this PTFE short, make the length to suit a free curve with no kinks.

 

*Updated PFTE hole to allow for better fit.

 

** This hub works with the Side Spool https://makerworld.com/en/models/210875#profileId-230703

 

 

**These Spools go great with your new Holder https://makerworld.com/en/models/218139#profileId-237017

I modified it to be a little longer😅 And I had to drill the hole for the PTFE tube to 4.5mm and then tape it (the PTFE tube) a bit with electrical tape so it can have a snug fit.

Did you use the new updated PTFE holder? It should be a snug fit both ways from tests I've made. Interesting lengthened the arm, I'm not sure I'd use it personally :) Thanks for the feedback.

I downloaded the 3mf file on the 24th of March, and the file was already updated. My PTFE tube is 4.1mm, maybe that is why I had to drill it ... First, I drilled it with a 4mm drill, and it didn't fit, and after I drilled it again with a 4,5mm drill, the hole was too loose, and that is why I taped it with electrical tape ... Nonetheless, I like the design.

Ahh that makes sense now, I didn't notice the Blue PTFE before you mentioned it. I'm planning to change the arm one more time soon as I get a free moment. Thank you for the feedback again, you're welcome :)

Quick question. what screws did you use to mount it? the screws that came with thr printer to mount just the metal piece to the back are too short when using the printed bracket.

works great so far. just the hole for the PTFE was a bit tide, 1/10mm of. but no problem with 4mm drill, but drilled by hand!

;) it'll outlast the printer lol... Yeah its a weird hole and I've had three consecutive prints all different, in the next version I'm changing the hole/arm design. Thanks for the feedback :) PS. The filament wiper is a great idea 👍

the filament wiper … 😂 it’s a nice relict from my old printers. I use them now for a couple of years, easy to print and very usefull. But please don’t use any “mineral oil” as in the description. thingiverse thing: 492067 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:492067

The most efficient design I’ve seen for a side spool mount, and is friendly to splitters on the upper corner of the printer.

Thank you kindly for the feedback. It was one of my first designs for my X1 and it's evolution has seen the arm being universal as my feed goes under (I run my buffer on the back of that mount). Thanks for the rating too :)

This has been very helpful. I do have one observation with the spool, it doesn't appear to sit consistantly on the provided metal arm from BL. I wonder if this is because of the orientation with it being on the side of the printer and not on the rear. This hasn't created any issues though and as this is the original spool arm your solution still warrants 5 stars.

The metal spool holder is a bit on the basic side but its functional, I haven't had any issue to date and I use mine often with full kg spools both genuine and rewound. I have mine feeding over the top and the PTFE underneath which could be a factor (I run my Buffer on this side). I've considered the roller alternative but think there is a bigger risk of it unwinding as there is no friction. I wanted to keep the model simple and not have a huge parts list as well :) Thanks for the feedback and rating :))

works grate on my p1S too. I just think that the filament guid would have been better if it was on the top facing the intake instead of on the side

It used to be on the top, I changed it to the current version. I am considering moving it again with a redesign to help with filament release (my spool core doesn't release the filament with this angle). Thank you for the feedback and rating :)
