Sidewinder X1 Spool Holder And LED Stick Support

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

I created this spool holder for the obvious reason to not move the printer's stock holder every time I change the filament from a different brand and the LED stick support was just an additional idea when I saw 2 unused holes in the stock spool holder.
I made these little things with Fusion 360 (beautiful thing by the way) with a level of knowledge in 3D design around zero and keeping in mind that I have that printer just from 5 weeks ago.
The tubes for spool holder are 20 mm in diameter and 100 mm long and they suppose to fit on the 14 mm bearings.Well,my printer printed the 20 mm diameter but the 14 mm,the inner diameter was just about 13.70 so I made another tube with 20 mm on the outside diameter and 14.32 on the inside diameter and it fits great,not tight not loose,the spool rolls nice.
For the "boomerang" like arms (LED light support and mirror LED light support) I used just 2 M5x30 mm screws and 2 M5 nuts for the front side (screw from outside,nut from inside) and for the back side on the unused holes I used the M5 screws and nuts (screw from inside,nut from outside,otherwise the spool will touch the screw) the printer had at the bearings.You can print both at a time or just one as you wish.
The T profile (250x30.5x15.5) I printed vertically with no raft,no support,just slow overnight.
The T connector has 0.5 mm clearance from T profile.
The wire holder 175 mm (50 mm profile and 125 mm long arm ending a lip with a 12 mm diameter hole) is the only piece printed with support,vertically cos I thought that is the way for less post-printing work and a functional/good looking piece.The same 0.5 clearance like the T connector,slides back and forth as you need.
The pin(s) connecting the arms and the T connectors are the "weak link" in all that design cos I wasn't able to make a M7 (the holes already printed about 7.7 mm in diameter)screw and nut to fit in Fusion 360 and print with 0.4 nozzle,so that remains a work-in-progress after I'll learn on YT how to make custom thread (coil).
The LED stick lamp is hanged with rubber band,I could use zip tie,not elegant at all I know that but patience is not my thing you know ( I want it all and I want it now).
So that being said,take it,enhance it,use it if you like,comment about it...etc.
Live long and prosper.
