MAK Sidewinder X1 Filament Wheel

If you want to move the spool from the top of your Sidewinder X1 to its side, this mod is for you.

Assembly

Print all three files. Use M5 x 45/50 mm bolt as an axle for the wheel (use the printed distance ring as well).

Attach whole assembly to the frame as shown on the pictures, using screws from the factory spool holder (same goes for the run-out sensor, use the factory screw).

The 4 mm hole at the back of the base is to guide the filament to the wheel. It is angled so filament can go smoothly on the wheel. You may want to install a piece of PTFE tube in the hole (optional).

Printing

Printing is straight forward, but supports are required for base component (see pictures). The wheel and ring should be printed with no supports, the wheel preferably with 0.12-0.16 layer height.
