<p><em><del>~ You might also want to consider my <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2104427">Universal Spool Hub Adapter</a>. ~</del></em></p> <p>I use filaments from many different manufacturers, and was disappointed when they all used different spool sizes/widths. I have a Flashforge Dreamer and am using @BaronWilliams' OmniStands with relish, and so decided to come up with an OpenSCAD-designed spool adapter that lets you set the adapter dimensions so you can make a compatible hub.</p> <p>The modifiable parameters include:</p> <ul> <li>Height (length) of the adapter</li> <li>Outer diameter (width) of the adapter</li> <li>Inner diameter (width) of the axle</li> <li><p>Number of spokes BaronWilliams' OmniStands:<br/> Top Mount: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:704631">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:704631</a><br/> Internal Side Mount: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:652415">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:652415</a></p> <p>The OpenSCAD design makes use of the Arc module created by T3P3 and available under GPLv3 license: <a href="http://www.youmagine.com/designs/4765">http://www.youmagine.com/designs/4765</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>FlashForge</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>FlashForge Creator Pro</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Suggested dimensions for 1 kg spools (but you may need to adjust depending on your printer's characteristics, print material, temperature, warping, etc):</p> HATCHBOX<br/> Height = 70<br/> Radius = 27</div></p> <p>MAKER GEEKS<br/> Height = 64<br/> Radius = 25</p> <p>ATOMIC FILAMENT<br/> Height = 70<br/> Radius = 25</p> <p>Happy to add more values if anyone has experience/suggestions!</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
