I designed and 3D printed the long axle to change the filament spool orientation from sideways to forward-facing. This setup allows the spool to spin more evenly and helps reduce shaking and wobble during printing.
The front orientation also makes it easier to:
Monitor filament movement
Load and unload filament
Add a filament cover or enclosure later
Compared to the stock setup, this design noticeably reduces spool vibration and printer movement.
This project is intended for DIY users. You may need to adjust the axle length or tolerances depending on your spool size and printer frame.
Notes
Axle is 3D printed
Designed for Ender 3–style frames
No bearings used (optional upgrade)
Filament cover not included (DIY-friendly design)
