Ender 5 Plus Large Spool Holder Extension Bracket

This contains two lengths of bracket for moving the standard spool holder bracket 25 mm or 50 mm to the rear of the Ender 5 Plus. This allows the use of the large replacement spool holders such as the design this is a partial-remix of.

The newly created objects are the brackets.

A replacement for the 'Creality Bolt' with a 1.5 mm slot present (note: widened to 2 mm for “v2”) to orient the bolt at 90 degrees to normal (remix from 'https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020026'), and a modified 98 mm long spool holder that may be printed vertically (remix from 'https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3209211') is included.

Rebuilt using the 'things' as mentioned as remixes, and from scratch for the brackets, in RS DesignSpark Mechanical. Source files included for modifications.

Photos show 50 mm bracket. Note clearance is very large. If you don't require such a large clearance, then use the 25 mm bracket. (Or customise from the DesignSpark Mechanical files).

Update 2022-06-24: My print broke under long-term load (refer to last photo), with a 1 kg spool held for several months. I had used only two walls, which was insufficient. Suggestion to print using four wallls.

Update 2022-09-26: The new print using four walls also broke unde load.  I have redesigned the parts, which are now “v2”.  Unless you want to save material then I suggest printing a new version. The ‘Creality Bolt’ design has also been modified with a wider slot, as “v2”.

Resolution:

0.2 mm

Infill: 

20% gyroid for bracket

Notes:

Suggest to use four walls (1.6 mm thickness, with 0.4 mm nozzle). Infill of 20% should be sufficient with four walls.

(Two wall, 40% gyroid infill print broke under load after several months.)
