Minimal Filament Buffer

thingiverse

I was unsatisfied with the Filament Buffers here on Thingiverse because they seemed to be bulky, and too massive, so i designed my own with the inspiration of the Buffer of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4013669. I re-designed the whole Buffer myself, so there are no compatible files between this and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4013669 #The Key features are: - it has hinges so you can bolt them to a surface and choose the appropriate filament without needing to hassle around because of limited space - It is compact, only the most necessary parts needs to be printed, the Bottom of the case is open and free to pushed out. That saves time to print. - all Files can be printed without any support and are already oriented in that way. - All Parts for one Filament Buffer can fit on one Buildplate (of a Prusa Mk3) so you don't need to wait for the rest of the parts to complete in order to have one Filament Buffer up and working. # I have embedded the Case in basically 2 variants: - one without any cutouts and markers - five with cutout and embossed numbers from 1-5 Use them as you want. # Needed additional Hardware - Screws to bolt the Anchors to a Plate (one for each Anchor) - 608 Bearing (one per Slider) # Optional but recommended additional Hardware - M5 inserts (used the M5 Inserts from Ruthex) - 2 for each Slider - M5 Tube Fitting sockets (PC4-M5 in my case) - 2 for each Slider Have fun.
