About this model

I recently purchased a used Ender 3 and it did not come with a spool holder. Being that it's getting a direct drive upgrade I took this as an opportunity to design a direct drive spool holder. This design will work on any 2020 extrusion piece as it's held in place with T Slot nuts.
