Absorbing filament guide for Anet A8

prusaprinters

<p>This is a low friction filament guide for the Anet A8. It dampens the filament flow at fast printhead movements and distributes jerky movements to a longer timespan to account for the inertia of the spool. It consists of a clamp and a rocker. I use a bowden tube from the filament container to the guide which can be inserted to the rocker. Alternatively there is a round bushing for filament. The pulley and the joint is a 608ZZ ball bearing.</p> <h3> Important:</h3> <ul> <li>The guide might reduce the build volume of your printer!</li> <li>It is not yet fully perfect.</li> <li>The holes and notches are not very precise because of overhang and support. You might have to change the tolerance_gap in the scad files and/or rework after printing.</li> <li><p>The picture shows a preview version with more notches for testing.</p> <h3>Vitamins:</h3> <p>Additionally needed:</p> </li> <li><p>2 ball bearings 608ZZ</p> </li> <li>1 bolt and nut 4x20 mm</li> <li>1 spring 70mm long<h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anet</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>A8</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.1</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>35</p></div></p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
