Summary
This is a remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4628099
I added a couple of tweaks and made it tension adjustable so your spool wont un-spool itself
It fits in replace of stock arm with ZERO modifications
There is a stepped spindle & nut as well as a tapered spindle & nut
Printing in PLA provides plenty of strength
Requires:
2 x 608 bearings
13cm of 8mm threaded rod
1 8mm nylon nut
1 8mm regular nut
1 8mm washer
Position & Supports:
Spindle Mounting Nut = small side down down with supports touching the bed. This will ensure the locking wing is shaped correctly
Spool Spindle = large side down with supports touching the bed. This will ensure the bearing seat is shaped correctly. The upper bearing seat I added a taper below it for proper printing
Spool Tension Nut = large side down NO supports
Spool Alignment Nut = large side down NO supports
How to assemble:
- Thread the nylon nut onto the threaded rod until the rod is flush with the top of the nut.
- Insert the threaded rod into the hex side of the spindle mounting nut
- Press the 608 bearing into the spindle. 1 in each end
- Install the spindle with the bearings installed onto the threaded rod
- Install the 8mm washer onto the threaded rod
- Press the regular 8mm nut into the hex end of the spool tension nut. This will be a tight fit.
- Install the spool tension nut onto the threaded rod. This does not require very much tension to work. BE GENTLE BARELY SNUG
- Install the assembly into the Spool arm holder on your CR-6
- Install a roll of filament
- Install the spool alignment nut and snug down to the filament spool
- Now you can rock the spool back and forth and adjust the tension nut only to leave a touch of drag on the spool.
If you do not want any drag at all just replace the Tension nut with a nylon nut and don't tighten the spindle to the mounting nut.
