Drop in spool holder for Ender 3 - prints as one part, no supports
Recommended BOM (note you could probably substitute M3 wood screws instead of the embedded nuts and machine screws)
Tools required:
Once part is printed separate the bearing sleeves and the two halves from each other. Carefully insert embedded nut using soldering iron, ensure nut remains square to the part. Secure bearings using bearing sleeves to the assembly as shown in image.
Note you will need to remove top rear bearing to insert / remove spool (long bearing sleeve should slide in / out of socket - optional screw shown in image for added strength)
