Description

V4 Time.
So the heat from my bed kept making the prongs brittle so I just went to a full holder. It was printed in PLA and this new one I printed in ABS so this one shouldn't break. Now it can just stay mounted there and thread the filament through when needed, then pop it out to clean it.

V3 Update.
Time for another update. I was finding over time clipping it in and out the prongs would loosen and the filter would slip in and out as the printer extruded and retracted filament. This new update has a retainer so it cannot slide. Also I opened up the gap between the prongs to fit your fingers in between so it can easily be grabbed and popped out.
Also put a strengthener down the middle.
Note: I printed it in 2 different types of PLA. The cheaper PLA snapped when inserting the cleaner. If printing in PLA I recommend V4.

V2 Update.
Now that I finally have some bolts I have updated this to be bolted on. Suits 4mm bolts with lock t nuts. No more superglue required. Have also modified nice_3d's Universal Filament Filter to suit my bracket. After many hours of printing I noticed the bracket would loose grip of the filter and it would slide up and rest against the extruder. Now the filter has a knurl to stop it from leaving the bracket.

V1
Filament Cleaner Bracket for Ender 5 to suit nice_3d's Universal Filament Filter.
This bracket clips into the side support to hold the filament cleaner in place.
I wanted to mount the filament cleaner so it didn't just wobble about during printing and it also doubles as a locator to line up the filament for the extruder.

THIS BRACKET HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH THE EXTRUDER IN THE FACTORY POSITION! (On the right side rear)
It may work with a top mounted extruder but I haven't tried it.
You will needed superglue to join the 2 pieces together on the older variations.
The parts are much stronger when printed in the orientation of the .stl.
Use a brim adhesion if small prints warp on your bed. I didn't need it on my stock ender 5.

OLD VERSIONS:
Some of the frame slots vary in width. I recommend opening the .stl in a CAD program like Tinkercad and just print the slot insert separately first to see how tightly it fits and adjust it from there. If you need to make it wider, which you shouldn't but anyway, copy the insert and use it to notch out the recess to the size of your slot.

30 minute print.
