FIlament Guiding Wheel

thingiverse

Hello there! I'm new to 3D printing and I'm still facing the same issues as you, which forces me to abort prints frequently. One of these problems is filament movement. Sometimes it works perfectly, but whenever I leave the room, something mysterious happens to the filament. Typically, the spool gets tangled up, ruining the print. I pointed out that the filament path from the spool to the PTFE tube isn't well-guided. So, another guide is needed - great idea, right? Since making this adaptation, I've no longer encountered issues with spool tangling. To fix this problem, you'll need just two things: A bearing: 1 x 608 ZZ (8x22x7 mm), also known as skateboard wheel bearings A screw: 1 x M3x55 mm Position the screw where the layer holder is located, which is at the visible bottom of your printer. The picture shows you where it goes. That's all! Print Settings: Printer: CTC Creator Rafts: Doesn't matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 60-75%
