Filament reel dispenser

cults3d

This is a filament reel dispenser, made up of eight parts, with two assembly versions - either by threaded rods or by pins. Version 1: 2 supports, 2 rollers, 4 wheels. To put it all together, you'll need: 2 8 mm threaded rods that you will cut to the length you want, 4 M8 nuts, 4 608Z ball bearings (22 x 8 x 7) and 4 40 mm pins, which act as pins. The threaded rods must be drilled in their axis at 1 cm from their ends. A little DIY project, certainly, but the end result is a very practical accessory that keeps the coil off the printer, with an impeccable angle of entry into the extruder. Version 2: 2 Supports, 2 rollers, 4 pins, 4 bearings 608Z. I designed a pin to replace the threaded rod for those who don't want to DIY. Simply put one in each bearing and you're done. To optimize coil adhesion to the rollers, just glue a flexible coating strip for the bottom of the drawers, sold as a GSB roll, especially at LM. Once done, there are no more slippages between the coil and the roller. The process is very smooth.
