Filament Carousel Tower for Prusa Sheet Metal Frames

thingiverse

The file "DirectCoilDispenderPrusaTower.stl" contained a redundant shell. I have now removed it, thanks to "Procatec"! I designed an updated version of the [Filament Carousel](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3559323) that solves the issue of limited print height. This new design is optimized for Prusa sheet metal frames with 6mm thickness and a 40mm wide upper beam. An alternative clamp option is available, which fits 20x20 aluminum profiles. To assemble this #FilamentCarousel, take the hub and carrier from the initial [Filament Carousel](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3559323) design. This upgraded Filament Carousel allows you to extract filament refill coils directly from their packaging, keeping them protected from dust and moisture. Watch a concept video on YouTube (sorry, only in German for now): https://youtu.be/wOhGI9ZFLmU For more information and updates, join the [Group Filament Carousel](https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/filamentcarousel) on thingiverse! Here's what you'll need to print and assemble: * 3 bearings 608 (common ones) * 3 countersink screws M5x20 * 3 nuts M5 * 2 countersink screws M4x12 (M4x25 for the 20x20 clamp) * 2 nuts M4 * 2-4 binder clips To print and assemble: Print the base upside down. The model includes all required support structures. I also provided an alternate version with additional support inside the hole, but it's not recommended. Print the clamp on one of its sides for ideal layer orientation. Watch a video to see how to assemble everything: https://youtu.be/19s8maf39_8 (German explanations, but you'll get the idea). A separate video shows how to prepare the coils: https://youtu.be/ENBaQnHx698 (also in German, but easy to follow)
