Filament Cleaner Bracket for Ender 5 to suit nice_3d’s Universal Filament Filter

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.

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.

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.
