Flashforge Creator Pro 2016 Filament Holder Upgrade

thingiverse

This is an upgrade to the Flashforge Creator Pro 2016 model.\nThe first thing I recommend printing when unboxing your Flashforge Creator Pro 2016 is this add-on because its original filament feed design isn't very good.\nThis bracket solved the issue where my filament would coil off of my roll and get stuck between the roll and the printer housing, causing it to stop feeding into the extruder. \nThe steps for assembly are as follows (also see attached photos for install): Print upright without raft/supports using print settings described below for ABS.\nClick this bracket into the same holders as the Creator Pro filament guide tubes on the back of the case.\nInsert the filament guide tubes into the top hole of the bracket.\nFeed your filament through the small hole in the bottom of the bracket and into the filament guide tube and load the filament as normal.\nIf you're annoyed that I cut my name "BJ Dizza" into this part and don't know how to remove it, let me know and I'll upload a new version without the name (or another one if you want).\nPrint Settings\nPrinter: Flashforge Creator Pro 2016\nRafts: No\nSupports: No\nResolution: 0.2mm layer height\nInfill: 20%\nNotes: The print settings I used with ReplicatorG slicing software were: Object infill - 20%; Layer Height - 0.2 mm; Number of shells - 1; Feedrate - 60 mm/s; Travel feedrate - 80; Print temperature - 230 degC; Print orientation - Print in an orientation so that the text is upright, as shown in the attached screenshot.\nHow I Designed This\nI based this design on a similar bracket made for a previous version of the Creator Pro. The 2016 model has wider spacing between the filament guide tube holders, which was the main reason I created my own.\nThe height was optimized so that it would fit into two clips that hold the filament guide tube normally.\nA section was added to ensure the filament guide tubes sit nicely in the bracket without falling through.
