Anycubic i3 Mega Filament Intake

thingiverse

This is a custom filament intake designed specifically for my Anycubic i3 Mega printer, now known as the Anycubic M. Frequently, I struggled to properly insert the filament into the extruder due to its finicky design, and noticed that the filament would often wear down when pulled over the metal component. To address these issues, I created a new intake with a M6 thread that securely screws in place, aligning the filament perfectly with the extruder gear for easier insertion. Additionally, this design minimizes filament wear since it's crafted from soft, former filament rather than rigid metal, reducing damage and improving overall print quality. This custom intake can be adapted for use on other printers featuring a M6 thread at the extruder.
