Duplicator i3 Oiler Cap

thingiverse

I started tackling the filament guide and oiler issues on my duplicator i3 a while back. I encountered a few problems along the way, such as the cotton from the oiler frequently popping out or the oiler itself falling off and landing near the extruder. This was incredibly frustrating. To resolve these issues, I designed a specialized cap that could be securely fastened onto the oiler. To keep it in place, I glued a magnet underneath and installed a screw to hold everything together tightly. What's more, this solution is entirely removable if needed. The design for the oiler and guide was heavily influenced by two existing models found on Thingiverse: one with the ID 979847 and another with the ID 2203961. For those interested in creating their own version using Tinkercad, I've made a link available here: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/fsQhbKtmcwJ
