Flashforge Adventurer 3 External Filament Guide

prusaprinters

<p>There are two versions for use with a short piece of PTFE tube, and one with just a simple ring.</p><p>The PTFE tube variants are for tubes with an outer diameter of 4 or 6mm, and an inner diameter of at least 3mm.<br>Drilling a 3mm hole in piece of tube with with 2mm inner diameter works, but I suggest using tubes with 6mm outer and 4mm inner, or 4mm outer and 3.2mm inner, diameter.</p><p>I use this together with the<i>1kg spool holder for monoprice voxel</i> by Ryoichi Kato and a piece of 4mm PTFE tube that goes through the hatch to the feeder.</p><p>I've included the source code used for creating the models as well, so you can change parameters and render with OpenSCAD.</p><p>A simple printable rivet that can be used to attach the guide the hatch is also included.</p><p>Which rivet version works best depends om filament, settings, etc. For me, the loose rivet worked with add:north black PLA, while the medium worked with Flashforge black PLA.<br>(You can also use OpenSCAD, and the included source code, to create a rivet with other parameters, if none of the included models work.)</p><p><strong>Things &amp; Links</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/305193">Flashforge Adventurer 3 PTFE Tube Feeder Coupler for External Filament</a> by <a href="/social/52933-dinky-toyz">me</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4199877">1kg spool holder for monoprice voxel</a> by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/ryo1kato">Ryoichi Kato</a></li><li><a href="https://www.openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a> - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller; free software and available for Linux/UNIX, MS Windows and Mac OS X.</li></ul><p><strong>Print Settings (used for the objects in the photos)</strong></p><ul><li>Printer Brand: FlashForge</li><li>Printer: &nbsp;Adventurer 3</li><li>Rafts: No</li><li>Supports: &nbsp;No</li><li>Resolution: 0.08 / 0.12</li><li>Infill: &nbsp;100%</li><li>Filament: Flashforge PLA Black</li></ul>
