Filament redirector for 1kg bobbins (FlashForge Adventurer 3)

cults3d

I use large bobbins for printing on FlashForge Adventurer 3 and filament's supply isn't optimised - it rubs against the bobbin. This tool I have made is changing filament's way around the bobbin so it's much more optimised. It can be easily disassembled if needed; it doesn't stick up so the solution is minimalistic; it doesn't make it difficult to remove bobbin because of moving part with roller. A new part is a bearing for the standard holder. In case you need a holder design itself, I've included both versions here - standard and short). It gets assembled pretty easily and works very well. With bearing, the bobbin holds straight when filament gets pulled by the printer. An update - updated parts: - Moving part got a little bit larger and it's simmetric now; - The Base got larger surface for sticking to the printer's wall; - The Base got better border angles for the moving part. Now you should fix the redirector diagonally (not horizontally) so the moving part goes back by itself if it doesn't have filament on it. I Bobbin holder's model I got with the printer itself (it should be also on official website). I used super-glue to fix it to the printer's side (double-sided tape is too weak). Please write comments if it was useful also for you! :-)
