The file 'Ender-3 V3 Top Spool Holder With Sensor 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 7.1MB.
Note: This will not fit the Plus model as its frame is differently sized. A full suite of Plus mods can be found here.
A top mounted spool holder for the Creality Ender-3 V3, including roller and filament sensor bracket. Note that this will not fit the Ender-3 V3 Plus - work on that is ongoing.
Whilst I think the Ender-3 V3 is pretty excellent, Core XZ element means that Z homing includes large up and down movements, which pull a length filament off the reel, which then has nowhere to go when the head moves back to the bed again. With the provided set up, filament gets pushed out to the back right hand side in amongst the main wiring, and is a bit of a mess (and could theoretically snag).
There are two choices of Sensor Bracket - one mounted on the Z-Axis and on on the Top Frame with replacement Cable Grip.
You'll need two additional M3 bolts (M3x8 if you are only using the Z-Axis Sensor Bracket, M3x12 if you're also using the Top Sensor Bracket) and an extension cable for the Sensor. After some false starts I eventually found the perfect cable which doesn't need making up or soldering. If you search for “XH 2S LiPo battery balance extension lead” at 200mm length in your Favourite Online Store that should fit perfectly. Just double-check the images to be sure (2S means 3 pin for some reason).
