Overview
Tired of the Z-axis gantry swaying like a mast when printing at high speeds on your Ender 3 V3 SE or KE? If you installed the YOOPAI Support Rod Kit to stiffen up your frame, you quickly realized it completely blocks standard side-mounted spool holder mods.
This is the SR1 (Support Rod Version 1) mod. It is a complete redesign of my original side mount, engineered specifically to work alongside the YOOPAI stabilizing bars. It provides a rock-solid, toolless, and clean setup that shifts the center of gravity down without sacrificing frame stability.
The Snap-On Side Mount (SR1)
Unlike the previous version which slid under the printer base, the SR1 mount snaps directly onto the lower section of the YOOPAI aluminum support rods.
Zero Hardware Required: No screws, no tools, and no fuss. It utilizes the tight tolerances of the YOOPAI kit to snap firmly into place.
Counter-Torque Design: The geometry features a custom bottom brace that anchors perfectly into the lower frame cavity, completely countering the rotational torque of a heavy spool.
