Overhead Spool Holder for Creality K1C (For Custom Risers + STEP)

A sturdy, top-mounted filament spool holder designed for the Creality K1 / K1C / K1 Max. Moving the spool to the top saves desk space and provides a smoother filament path.

⚠ IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE: The mounting base of this holder is specifically designed to attach to a custom top riser/rim (as seen in the close-up photos). It is not designed for the bare stock frame. Since everyone uses different top risers, I have included the original STEP file! You can easily import it into CAD (Fusion360, TinkerCAD, etc.) and modify the bottom mounting slot to perfectly fit your specific printer setup.

Project includes:

• The Main Arm: Note: Only one arm file is provided. To print both the left and right sides, simply Mirror the part in your slicer (Orca/Cura/PrusaSlicer).

• The Spool Tube: A separate central spindle that securely holds the filament roll and drops into the arms.

• STEP File: For easy remixing and custom fitting.

• 🔩 Hardware Required: To assemble the upper arms to the base mounts, you will need 4x M3 bolts and 4x M3 nuts (2 for each side).

Print Instructions

This part needs to hold a 1kg+ spool over a hot printer, so print it strong! (Деталь должна держать катушку весом более 1 кг над горячим принтером, поэтому печатайте с запасом прочности!)

• Material: PETG, ABS, or ASA. (Do not use PLA, as it will warp and bend from the heat of the printer enclosure).

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm or 0.6 mm.

• Layer Height: 0.2 mm.

• Walls (Perimeters): Minimum 4 to 5 walls. This is the most important setting for strength!

• Infill: 25-40% (Gyroid or Cubic).

• Orientation: Print the arms flat on their side. Print the tube vertically (standing on one of its end flanges).

• Supports: Minimal supports might be needed for the tube's top flange, depending on your printer's bridging capabilities. The arms print support-free.
