I created this to mount on the inside rear 2020 vertical rails,between the bottom and middle upper horizontal rail, of the FolgerTech FT-5 to hold a rod that in turn will hold the filament spools.
I created this because I have installed the Diamond Hotend setup and the filament will be being pulled UP into the three extruders instead of down for the stock direct drive extruder.
I made the hole for the rod, which is just one of those spring rods used for curtains, 16.5mm diameter, so you can fit the rubber ends through without having to remove them from the rod ends.
The bolt holes are 5.15mm diameter for easy insertion of the M5 screws that you should have a few left from the FT-5 build.
Dimensions are 200mm Long x 4mm Thick x 40mm Height
Just make 2 of this, one for each side!
With the rod hole distance from the rear rails, standard spools should miss the rear of the bed with no problem, smaller spools even more so!
If there are any suggestions let me know.
