Filament guide tube holder for FlashForge Creator Pro 2016

myminifactory

A week ago, I got my FlashForge Creator Pro 2016 and was blown away by its performance. However, some issues needed addressing. Firstly, it's really hard to fit filament spools from other brands in the included spool holders, but printing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1001925 solved this problem quickly. Next, I found that the default position of the guide tubes is a bit awkward and might let the filament get tangled. So, I decided to print http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1055138. To my surprise, it didn't fit on my machine. It turned out that in the 2016 version, the space between the clamps holding the filament tubes had increased, so I redesigned this using SolidWorks. After testing this new design for a while, I decided to make another one from scratch: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1557250. I highly recommend this new design because it looks better and is easier to take off the printer bed! Notes: While you can print this with 10% infill, I suggest increasing it to 20% for extra strength. You don't need supports, but they're recommended to prevent warping.
