I found the anti-tangle filament rack solution of Creality problematic, so here comes my solution to the problem..

After scraping my ultimate top mount spool holder project I reversed back to the original side mounted spool holder. But I had to throw out Creality's nonsense anti tangle filament rack solution. 

I experimented with this part and it works flawless for me.

 

I also get rid of the filament runout sensor and its cable from the mainboard. 

I always use my printer next to me and Creality should have inclueded a smart filament sensor or an extruder integrated version for this prize point IMHO.

 

 

The part clips to the original spool holder from the bottom and can be adjusted through the holder's side, bring it close to the filament_spool edge but no touchy touchy.. 

Find a PTFE-teflon tube and use around 3cm of it for the hole in the part (I used the small PTFE tube from the runout sensor) , ofset the tube from both sides so it can work in every angle.

 

I uploaded a stronger arm version (Ender 3 v3 Anti Tangle Filament clips for the side spool str.stl)  if you are having problems with slim parts.

 

You can also mirror print it and use from the top part of the spool holder.

 

 

No support No brim No nothing, just print it as is and insert the PTFE tube to the hole.

Everything is really tight fit which have to be for this application . Use reasonable force.

 

Feedbacks will be appreciated.
