Monoprice Select Mini 3D Filament Feed Base

thingiverse

I purchased the Monoprice Select Mini 3D printer and immediately noticed a fracture in the filament feed tray's casing. I could have sent it back, but I discovered a design flaw that needed to be addressed. The original design focused all spring pressure on a single hole. This new design disperses the stress across surrounding fasteners for added support. After conducting research, I was unable to find a suitable design for this component online. Hopefully, this will benefit someone else. Some users pointed out that the spring holder in the original design was positioned too low. To improve alignment, I raised it by 1.5 millimeters. Although I haven't printed it yet, it is available as v4 if you'd like to try it out. Print Settings: Printer: Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer Rafts: No Supports: Yes Infill: 100% Notes: While resolution isn't crucial for a functional part, printing at 100% infill will enhance the component's durability. This is the fourth iteration of the design and should function seamlessly from the printer.
