Creality Ender 3 CR10 Bent Spool adaptor

I have moved my spool to the side of my printer and noticed that the spool keeps turning on an angle while it feeds into the extruder. So I made this adapter which allows the spool to sit on its natural angle.

It also means the spool can sit closer to the printer and feed nicer.

As this needs to carry the weight of a spool (only tested with 1kg spools) i recommend high infill 20% or more. No supports needed, 0.2mm layer height is fine.

Once printed, I pushed it into the factory spool holder then used the factory nuts to attach to the printer.
