filawinder 3d models

I Reverse enfineered this in Fusion 360 to accompany a M6 bolt as that is all that I had

Simple brackets I designed to attach my filawinder to the wall because my boards lacked built-in mounting capabilities. Have fun! This project was created using Tinkercad. ...You can edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3CoovCCiVf5

The pins on my filawinder's controller board were persistently grinding into my spools. I meticulously dimensioned the part and reimagined it in CREO to push the spool farther away from the control board. ...Although I haven't printed yet, there's a...

I sought flexibility in Ian J.'s Filawinder design for my dual-filament extruder. Thus, I added adjustable gear stress with a motor mount featuring slides, a flexible LED guide sensor, and interchangeable gears in the spool hub. A knob was included...

This adapter takes the place of the PTFE tube to ensure the filament stays within the laser's detection area of the Filawinder sensor holder.

Here, you can find an easy-to-follow, do-it-yourself rendition of the electronic setup designed by IanJohnson for the FilaWinder device.

Ian Johnson's filawinder underwent modifications due to unavailability of laser cutter; uses printed supports instead. ...Motor support, unlike pictured, includes ribs for stability and measures 2mm more in thickness.

As a Filawinder user, you may have noticed that imperfectly straight filament can cause serious issues when it passes through the PTFE tube. Specifically, it tends to drag the tube towards the spool, putting excessive stress on the servo and...

The FilaWinder BBSpool Adaptors make it possible to utilize spools with larger center holes. You can now utilize spools with center hole openings up to 89mm thanks to the BBSpool Adaptors. The FilaWinder comes with spool hubs that allow for spools...

This customized solution draws inspiration from the original filawinder design, with notable improvements included for enhanced performance. By shortening the cylindrical section of the unit, unnecessary tension is removed, allowing users to install...

I had successfully used Filawinder/Filastruder until I encountered a problem: the nut would occasionally come loose, resulting in a complete failure and loss of control. To prevent this issue, I created a specialized nut holder that securely fastens...

When using Filastruder + FilaWinder combo for 3mm filament extrusion, the servo motor often struggles to guide the filament due to its stiffness compared to 1.75mm. This causes stress on the motor and may halt filament movement, leading to a bunch of...

I strongly suggest cutting out the additional reinforcing pieces as well; these strengthen the spool hole considerably and should allow for multiple reuse on the filawinder. NOTE: Do NOT put in oven or heated dehydrator to dry filament once on...

I found that really securing the tube stops it from moving when the filawinder turns on or off, which helps consistency. (That's why I used a white piece.) Original files are included. I had to adjust the 5 mm post diameters several times to get...

Intended for use with [Filawinder improved wall mounted sensor](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4199247) With gratitude to Greg Gaub for helping to test and improve this design. Please note that some components are designed with sacrificial...

Intended for use with Filawinder improved wall mounted sensor With gratitude to Greg Gaub for helping to test and improve this design. Please note that some components are designed with sacrificial membranes over round holes in order to eliminate the...

I employ these to secure spools connected directly to the filawinder.

... I discovered a useful modification available on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1386376. This adaptation enables the use of wider spools, which I believe will significantly enhance the overall performance of my filawinder setup.

The tiny dot at the center has been eliminated completely.

This a simple modification to the [FilaWinder Control Box](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:174383) to be able to print it without the need for support. It uses 45 degree over hangs and a couterbore M3 cutout. ...Please use a hobby knife to cut up the...

A replacement for the factory-installed filawinder laser sensor holder has been designed. It is fully parametric and completely customizable to fit individual needs. For improved performance with specific materials, such as white 1.75mm ABS filament,...

I utilize only genuine Makerbot spools exclusively and discover that the stock gears on my filawinder are a bit too small to accommodate them adequately. Consequently, I decide to redesign both sets of gears and their corresponding holders entirely.

I attached my FilaWinder vertically and utilize massive spools, consisting of two standard 1kg spools joined together at their ends using glue, necessitating an arm capable of withstanding more stress than the stock piece while accommodating a...

I needed my FilaWinder to move faster without messing with the code or altering the motor supply voltage, so I changed the gear ratio instead. The small gear is an 18-tooth gear and the large one is a 38-tooth gear, increasing speed by about 50%...

This is an alternative to the original stock filawinder laser sensor holder. It offers customizable parameters for your specific needs. I opted to widen mine compared to the standard version, finding it more suitable for my white 1.75mm ABS filament....

I often notice people installing their FilaStruders and FilaWinders on the wall, but I always see the sensor sitting on a shelf below them. I used h0lger's laser sensor holder at its standard settings and added two mounting posts on the back. The...

... only person on this forum willing to tackle problems like these. Again, this was a modification of the original Filawinder file. ...The shaft hole has been repaired for a smooth fit with the shaft, so you don't need to drill it out to make it work.

Calculate the ratio between guide arm length and servo arm length, then plug this number into the FilaWinder sketch/Firmware's guide movement correction section. This tweak should get everything up and running smoothly. ... Hope this setup finds its...

Assess the thickness of the spooling filament using a gauge, readily available on Amazon and eBay. The inexpensive option can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B008H1DL3M?ie=UTF8&condition=new&seller=AA3DL1YN5S7YK. The guide is...

I designed this filament gauge specifically with the Filabot in mind, and it has proven to work exceptionally well for me so far - fingers crossed you'll find it just as useful!
