Lulzbot Taz 6 - Filament Spool Arm upgrade

thingiverse

I created a modified version of the Taz 6 stock filament spool arm, adding a groove and two indentations that can securely hold a .093 inch half round piece of teflon on the edge. This slippery material works perfectly without the need for bearings or complicated designs. I purchased a 10-foot long roll of 3/16th inch half round teflon online at a low cost, and printed this new design using my Moar Struder with high definition settings in under 30 minutes with Black NGen material. To properly install the teflon, I used a sharp tool to carefully undercut the slot, allowing it to fit smoothly into place.
