Forget This!

Yes, that's right. I don't recommend this side spool mount any more!

I made a new and much better one. I call it: The Rocket!
Check it out!

This is my custom version of the Side Spool Mount.

The mount is long enough for the spools to clear the Z-axis motor.
So changing filament rolls shouldn't be an issue with this one.

It is designed for the Ender 3 Pro. But should fit on the Ender 3 and Creality CR-10 too.

This includes a Long version and an Extra Long version (2.3cm longer).

There are 4 versions of the Long and Extra Long mounts (so 8 in total).

4 Tabs

This has 4 tabs that slide into the v-slots. But depending on your print, it can be too tight to fit

3 Tabs A & B

These have 3 tabs, which makes it easier to fit into the rail. Choose the version that fits your needs. Make sure the 'missing' tab is at the side, not the top.

Skrew Holes

This has 2 tabs and 2 screw holes. This is the easiest to slide on to the rail and will offer the most sturdy fit. The M58 screws included with your printer are long enough. But I recommend using M510 screws.

INSTALLATION

To install, just remove the back cap, slide it on to the bar, and place the cap back.
It's a strong, tight fit. So you will have to use some force to get it on.

TIP

Tip: If you use this awesome Filament Holder (remix) by mjoaris

Place the original mount with the flat side to the front. This way you can screw the holder on vertically, like seen in the second photo.
