Hands Free Filament Insertion - Ender 3 / 5 - Improvement

cults3d

Easily insert the filament in a "hands-free" way The principle: When the lever is lowered there is no pressure on the extruder so the spring plays its role. When changing the filament, raise the lever to release the pressure exerted on the filament by the spring. An eccentric system makes it possible to exert a force on the lever of the extruder and thus the block in position of opening. You will no longer have to use one hand to hold the pressure on the extruder when inserting or removing the filament. Adaptable to original mounted extruder (black plastic) and the red extruder (aluminum). Version V.2: no more screws to add for the axis, print it. 4 parts are to be printed: one that attaches to the extruder body (you will have to replace a screw with the same screw with 5 mm more length), an eccentric lever, a moving part, a threaded shaft Version V.3 The head of the pin has a hexagonal hole for screwing and penetrates a counterbore to be flush with the face.
