Center Mounted Elegoo CC1 Canvas Mount

Here we go boys and girls the center mounted canvas system. No one else did it so I did. Reminder it's only my best idea, you may have improvements or ideas, but your best idea was only inspired by mine. Inspiration is the only gift I can give to you bad or good. 

Concerned with the overall height and width of the Centauri Carbon I have decreased the space required for the printer. More space means more storage area for filament. This may make it possible for you to keep your present riser and add another to increase the height slightly to accommodate the PTFE tubing from the Canvas to the hub. But it will still be much shorter than the top hat monstrosity requiring much more space. 

Filament is routed from the top spools behind the bottom spools then through the center guide mounted on the canvas support and finally to the canvas. 

All the main mounting parts interlock and the spool mounts in the upgrade are retained and used, including the screws. The original retracting spool holders can also be used. I decided to make my own spool spindle that can be used for small spools and spool adapter can be added. For this see below for the link for the adapter used. 

Screws for the original spool mounts are used. Additional screws needed are six 3mX10 screws for mounting the mount plates. If the center guides are used two longer screws may be needed for the center plate mounting holes. *Upon further review the spool guides on the right and left  are not even necessary. They can still be used if desired, I may have over engineered in this area. 

If you decide to retain the original retracting spool holders spool spacers will be needed for the bottom two spools to allow space for the filament wheel and shield. The keeper will not be needed for the original spools but will be needed for the small spool adapter and will need to be cut to be installed. Notice in the pictures of the spool keeper that it is split. Remember this part is only needed if you decide not to use the original spools. Note: no testing was done with the original retracting spool holders. 

Using this design I have eliminated errors caused by restriction or friction. The Canvas is extremely sensitive and may not even like the resistance in the retracting spool holders. If using the Small Spool Adapter or the Spool Spacer the seam will have to be removed from the outer edge to allow for a smooth non restrictive surface. Also the seam on the inside of the Filament Wheel will need to be removed, the wheel should spin freely with no restriction. 

The below link is the best spool adapter available and fits the Small Spool Holder.

The Small Spool Adapter does not snap in like the original spool holder. Push down and pull slightly to make sure it's installed properly on the mount. 

The original Canvas mount screws are used to mount it to the bracket. 

Things to be aware of:

These mounting plates are likely to only fit the CC1. I am fairly positive the CC2 has additional screws along the sides. 

Risers that overhang the front inside edge more than 5mm will likely make contact with the 4-1 hub. Also not all glass tops are the same size, verify the size of the opening of the riser recess is large enough for your glass top or modify it accordingly in a CAD program.

Now working on riser that compliments my current vented riser and this conglomeration of parts. I would be interested in the risers you come up with to work with this model. 

Disclaimer: This may solve Canvas errors or other related issues. It will not solve first layer adhesion, bad relationships, excessive filament purchasing , Amazon delivery times. 

Designed with TinkerCad. How about someone designing more CAD programs that are easy to use. Stupid people that can't figure out more complex programs have good ideas too.
