There are 3 versions available:

V1 and V2: Both include all the STL files in the files section.

V3: This version contains the updated print settings. Also STL can be found in files

I recommend downloading just one version of the print settings. If you're not using a Creality printer, simply adjust your printer profile but keep the provided settings. Be sure to read the description and check the pictures to get the best results on your first try—no wasted filament!

A Work in Progress – Feedback Welcome! (Fixed for recent comments 7/2/2025) (All old files are still there for people who have downloaded already)

This is still a work in progress, and while it functions well, it may not be perfect for everyone’s setup. I’d love to hear your suggestions or improvements to help make this even better for the community!

If you build this, please consider sharing a photo of your finished setup — I’d love to see how it looks on your machine!

And if you'd find it helpful, I can post a photo of the fully assembled stand as a reference.

Upgrade your filament management setup with the Retractable CFS Stand, purpose-built for the Creality CFS. This fully 3D printable stand features a clever sliding mechanism that allows the entire CFS unit to extend outward for easy access and retract neatly when not in use — perfect for tight workspaces or clean builds.

The stand is made up of six modular parts:

Inner Housing 4x – holds the gear and pawl mechanism

Outer Housing / Base 4x– houses the internal rail system

Top Cover 2x – mounts directly to the Creality CFS

Bottom Plate / Leg 4x– provides a stable foundation

Gear Wheel and Pawl 4x – enable locking, ratcheted movement

Pin 4x – secures the inner assembly in place

Assembly is simple and secure:

First, the Inner Housing is glued to the Top Cover, creating a single sliding unit that connects directly to the Creality CFS. The Outer Housing is then glued to the Bottom Plate, forming a stable legged base.

With the housings in place, the Pawl and Gear Wheel are mounted onto the Inner Housing, enabling controlled sliding and locking during use. Once the CFS is screwed onto the top, the entire upper assembly is slid into the base. A locking pin is inserted to secure everything in place.

This design ensures the CFS can easily slide out when needed, lock securely in position, and tuck back smoothly when done — all while maintaining a clean and modern profile.
