Tri-direction Foldable Spool holder (2020 and 3030 frame)

Tri-direction Foldable Spool holder (2020 and 3030 frame)

Last update: 2025/11/11

Side mounted spool holder is more accessible?
The original spool holder is getting in the way when using an MMU?
This spool holder can be easily flipped to match your setup. 

Modified from the stock Voron spool holder. It can be mounted to most vertical 2020 and 3030 extrusions.

Lift it up and flip it to the direction you want. Press it down then it's locked.
The weight of the spool will help keeping it in place. 

You can optionally use a short 3mm ID PTFE tube as a sleeve on the M3 screw.
There are two base mounting parts. Print the corresponding one.

The mechanism is inspired by the Voron0-Flippy-Spool-Holder.

BOM

• M3 x 50 SHCS * 1 (If you've built a StealthBurner you may have some on hand)
• M5 x 10 BHCS * 1 (For mounting to the frame)
• OD 4mm PTFE tube about 86mm long * 2
• OD 4mm/ID 3mm PTFE tube 18mm (optional, print the corresponding part!)

Print Settings

Basically the same as Voron standard. 
(4 perimeters, 40% infill, 0.2mm layer height) 

All STL files are oriented in the printing orientation.
No support required.

Assembly

Please refer to the animation. 
Ignore the short PTFE tube if you're not going to use one.

NOTE: The M3*50 SHCS is threading into plastic.
Screw it in to just slightly bottoming out. 0 uga-duga here!

Clearance when retracted

When retracted (folded to the panel side), it has a 6mm gap to the frame.
Any combination of panel and foam with a total thickness less or equal to 6mm will fit.
