The Problem: The "Cardboard Dust" Issue

The stock spool holder on the AnkerMake M5C is stationary. When using cardboard filament spools, the friction of the spool rotating against the plastic arm grinds down the cardboard. This creates a fine "cardboard dust" that settles over your printer, rails, and belts.

The Solution

This adapter allows you to convert your M5C to a rolling system by utilizing the metal spool rod and screw from the original AnkerMake M5.

It uses a secure "sandwich" design consisting of a Front Block and a Rear Brace that mount to the existing M5C metal bracket. It is fully compatible with the original filament guide, which slides right over the top of the assembly.

Included Modified Parts

I have included modified plastic washers based on the original design by pennilesswizard. I resized these to be shorter on the Z-axis. This modification was made specifically for length accommodation, ensuring the total stack height fits perfectly on the M5 metal spool rod.


Required Hardware / Components

  1. Metal Spool Rod & Screw: From an original AnkerMake M5.

  2. The Roller: You will need to print the "M5 Filament Roller" by pennilesswizard (Thingiverse Link).

  3. This Adapter Set: The Front Block, Rear Brace, and my modified washers.

While PETG is a great option, I used AnkerMake PLA+ and it has held up perfectly.

Assembly Instructions

1. Remove the Stock Hardware

  • Rotate the factory plastic spool holder on the front of your M5C counter-clockwise to "unclick" it.

  • Note: Once the front piece is removed, the stock plastic clip plate on the back of the metal bracket will fall off. Set both stock plastic pieces aside.

2. Install the Adapter

  • Rear Brace: Place this against the back of the bare metal bracket.

  • Front Block: Slide this over the metal bracket from the front. The pieces will "sandwich" the metal frame and snap together for a secure fit.

3. Mount the Roller

  • Assemble the AnkerMake M5 Filament Roller using the modified washers provided in this file.

  • Slide the metal M5 rod through the roller.

  • Insert the rod through the hole in the Front Block / Rear Brace assembly.

  • Secure it by tightening the original M5 screw through the back of the Rear Brace and into the rod.

4. Final Touch

  • Slide your original M5C filament guide back over the top of the metal bracket - it fits perfectly over the new adapter.
