ExtrudeReel

thingiverse

I had to flip the filament feeding port below the extruder mounts because my two ports kept cutting up into the apex and were eventually going to pinch my filament, causing drag on my extruder steppers. I also added a cylinder to round off the edge where the filament contacts to improve feeding while combating saw-like forces, giving the filament room to slide back and forth so it doesn't always glide over one spot. I added base mounting holes and decreased the radii under the bridge to lessen the overhang and decrease the chance for curling. This is an idea I've been tossing around for months - a spool holder that also holds the bowden extruder. I already have a remix in mind because I'm not entirely content with the current height of the extruder and I'd like to raise it up another 100 or so mm. I printed at 65mm/s with no support, and I have custom supports inside the mount tracks which make for very little waste. The print took roughly 8 hours 15 minutes. The spindles - I printed a pair for my dual nozzle kit. Print speed of 54-50mm/s took almost 2 hours. I should actually maybe remove those custom supports for those foolish enough to not use linear advance. My first attempt at the spindle was before I adopted linear advance and the single walled custom supports did not print well at all. Still, if you have your flow really dialed in, I suggest printing the Spool Pins with the custom supports for a great finish with very minimal waste.
