Flashforge Creator Pro See Through Filament Guide

cults3d

Tired of having to glance behind your Flashforge Creator Pro to check the colors of the filaments currently loaded? Well, you're in luck. This handy accessory will allow you to see the filament colors while looking at your printer from the front. As a bonus, you'll also get better visual feedback while loading a new filament into the filament guides. To build this thing, all you need to do is obtain a clear PTFE tube with 4mm inner diameter and 6mm outer diameter (sometimes called 4X6mm or just 4X6), cut it with the sharp knife to the same length as the existing tube, and insert it instead. Those clear tubes are readily available on eBay from several vendors, and they cost a few bucks. Simply search for 'clear PTFE tube' or something like that. My science-minded friend tells me that there's no such thing as clear PTFE, and that clear material is probably FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene). But my 3D printer doesn't care what it's called - it just works the same.
