Monoprice Select Mini 3D Filament Feed Base Remix

thingiverse

Remix of the Filament Feed Base for the Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer. The feed base broke near one of the screw holes on my Monoprice Select Mini and I tried using the model released by cmniemann, but it didn't work with my printer due to several alignment issues - most notably the spring mount. This is my mod on the original so that it would work with my printer without issue. Thanks go to cmniemann for the original design. I printed this with supports, not sure if you can get by without them (I never tried). Changes from the original: raised spring mount to be equal to lever position - original caused misalignment between filament bearing and the extruder gear moved screw hole closest to base's spring mount a little to right to better align with hole on top of printer - was difficult to insert screw, screw head stop was also lowered to give better clearance with lever arm reduced size of added "bumper" on left side to aid with above hole clearance better clearance around the geared drive added small divot on lower right side for better clearance around filament feed tube extended support around filament hole for cleaner 3D prints added extra support around the outside of the screw mounts Update 2016-Sep-22 Added "Feed_Base_Remix_v05.stl" which contains all fixes present in the previous versions. I've printed it and it is what I'm using on my printer now as a replacement. As v05 appears to work without any major issues, I've removed the preceding versions.
