Filament Dryer / Dehydrator spool roller / spool holder

prusaprinters

<p>There are many versions and remixes of this type of roller. This one is remixed from: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2693565">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2693565</a>.</p> <p>I wanted to be able to print certain filaments while the filament spool resides in the dryer / dehydrator; this can be handy for very hygroscopic filaments like nylon. This remix is such that the filament roller fits inside my filament dryer / dehydrator while still being able to handle 1kg spools.</p> <p>The original design is modified such that the filament roller base plate is higher and has a recess to allow the base to fit the filament dryer tray. Also I made two changeable spool adapters: the 'normal' spool adapter fits most filament spools (with inner diameter of ~52 mm) that I have and the smaller version fits spools with an inner diameter of ~ 48 mm.</p> <p>More information about the filament dryer / dehydrator and the related dryer tray extensions can be found here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2865085">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2865085</a></p> <p>The filament feeder (angled) is this one: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2116535">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2116535</a></p> <p>Assembly is self explanatory. You will need:<br/> 3 bearings, type 626ZZ<br/> 1 bearing, type 608ZZ<br/> 3 bolts M6 x 20 mm (or longer will work too)<br/> 3 nuts M6</p> <p>I used this <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1928974">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1928974</a> and my vise to insert the 608 bearing in the roller. Make sure the bearing is flush at the top of the hole of the filament roller base plate.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: filament dehydrator, filament dryer, filament roller, filament spool holder, horizontal roller, spool roller</p> <h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2rqZ6Uo">i3 MK3</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> up to you</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Only supports are needed for the roller base plate.
