FilaWinder Base Extension
thingiverse
When using Filastruder + FilaWinder combo for 3mm filament extrusion, the servo motor often struggles to guide the filament due to its stiffness compared to 1.75mm. This causes stress on the motor and may halt filament movement, leading to a bunch of filament in the spool's center. The base extension solves this issue by increasing the distance between the filament guide and PTFE tube, making it easier for the servo motor to move the guide. Print with at least 40% infill using PLA or ABS, and a 4mm hole near the bottom of the extension allows you to secure it against bending by screwing into a wall or supportive material in a horizontal setup. You may slightly enlarge the hole if needed.
