Adventurer 3 Spool Adapter (New Version)

thingiverse

irishfrog created an exceptional spool adapter for the Flashforge Adventurer 3. Unfortunately, Flashforge has modified their machines, transitioning from three spokes to four in the spool holder, making the original adapter incompatible with newer models. I made the necessary adjustments to ensure it fits. The revised adapter is also 25 mm longer to accommodate wider spools measuring up to 75 mm or 80 mm in length. To fit the adapter on the Adventurer 3's plate, we need to split it into two parts. For added strength, I divided it into three sections, allowing for a solid axle through the adapter. This creates a seam; I sealed it with hot glue, so an outer sleeve is recommended. A toilet paper roll serves as a suitable substitute. No modifications were made to the spool adapter's outer end, and the rest of irishfrog's provided parts should function smoothly with this revised design. I personally tested the end cap nut, which fits perfectly. The axle could be lengthened even further since a significant portion of it is concealed within the machine.
