For the Ender3V3 XY printer. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE PLUS VERSION.

PETG or stronger filament recommended!

For Original Version:

You will need an additional 2 M3x10mm or longer (no longer than x20mm recommended) screws OR you can remove the filament runout sensor and use those screws but they may stick out a little in the back. The remaining hardware is included with the stock printer.

The current version does not have the filament runout sensor attached, however, the 3mm hole at the front is intended for one of the M3 screws and the runout sensor. You will need to extend the cable the runout sensor uses because it is not long enough to reach the top of the printer. Otherwise, you can use your printer with the runout sensor unplugged, and it will print like normal without the 'filament runout' feature.

For V2 Version:

For the upgraded, BodyV2 model, you will use all of the hardware that comes you with your printer and you will also need:

2 M3x8mm or longer (no longer than x20mm recommended) screws.
1 M3x4mm or longer (no longer than x8mm recommended) screw.
[OPTIONAL] 1 M3 nut.

This version give you a more secure and more optioned attachment to the mount. First, you attach the 'Filament Runout Plate' with the top right hole where you want the sensor. Then you use the M3 screws used originally with the runout sensor on your printer to secure the plate and the sensor to eachother and to the mount.

If you have some and wanna use one, you can put an M3 nut on the backside of the plate on the bottom right corner since some of the original screw will stick out the back of the plate. There is only one correct way to combine the plate and the sensor, so if a hole is not lined up somewhere flip the plate to the other side.

As with the original model, you need to extend the cable the filament runout sensor uses somehow because it is not long enough to reach the mount.

Project Description:

I missed the frame-top mounting system from my Sovol printer, and I had some things in mind for a design different from what's available, so here's my iteration of a topside mounted spool for the Ender3 V3 Core XY. This model allows for different configurations and placements of the spool arm on the top of the printer and different placements of the filament runout sensor on the front of the mount.

With my skinny enclosure setup, moving the filament up top has been really nice and hassle free for filament swaps and accessing the inside of the enclosure for cleaning and maintainence.
