Filler Guide with Integrated Loadcell

thingiverse

I really like the design of the Filler filament holder but also wanted to use a HX711 loadcell to measure my remaining filament weight. There are a couple of remixes that do this already by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3262984">sb43201</a> and <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4333501">DasMani01</a> but both of these only work with filament spools that are larger than the original. This version fits the same size spools (48MM) as the original. This version is designed to fit a generic 5KG HX711 loadcell; I'm using a random generic one I found on Amazon. You will need the following screws to attach the loadcell to the guide: <ul> <li>2x 12mm M4 Flat/Countersunk Screws</li> <li>2x 12mm M5 Panhead Screws</li> </ul> The bottom bracket contains a slot at the end that a 4-pin Dupont connector will fit through This model also includes a small case that allows you to clip the HX711 board to the stock filament arm of the Ender 3. The pin that holds the board in this case is a tight fit and I had to file the opening on the case slightly
