Description
In order to use a 5kg spool with my Trident, due to my workbench configuration I had to make a special 1 off spool holder. With the standard Voron bowden retainer, this would have had the filament coming off the spool at kind of an extreme angle, and it looked like it was going to cause tangling problems. So I modified the retainer to extend it farther out from the printer, and reduce the angle significantly. This part puts the PTFE tube 130mm from the edge of the printer frame.
Apologies for the crappy photos…. This was part of a setup I threw together in order to get up and running with the 5kg spool. Documenting it was an afterthought, as was posting it here in case anyone else might find it useful.
I printed the pictured part on my Voron 2.4 using the standard print settings for Voron parts.
