Filament guide tube holder for FlashForge Creator Pro 2016

thingiverse

A week ago, I took delivery of my FlashForge Creator Pro 2016, and while I've been thoroughly impressed with this machine's capabilities, there are a few things that could be refined. For starters, it's very challenging to fit filament spools from other manufacturers into the included spool holders, but this was easily resolved by printing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1001925. In a related note, the default position of the guide tubes is somewhat awkward and may allow the filament to become entangled. So, I decided to print http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1055138. To my astonishment... it doesn't fit on my machine. It appears that in the 2016 version, the spacing between the clamps holding the filament tubes was increased, and so I chose to re-design this model in SolidWorks. After testing this design for a while, I decided to create a new one from scratch: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1557250. I strongly recommend this new design, as it looks more refined and is easier to remove from the printer bed! Print Settings Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro 2016 Rafts: No Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 10 Notes: While it can be printed with 10% infill, I suggest increasing it to 20% to ensure the strength of the piece. You don't need to use supports, but they are recommended to prevent warping.
