Prusa Filament Feeder with Ball Joint Head

prusaprinters

<p>A two-part filament feeder that maintains a slight filament tension, preventing the filament from unrolling from a spool and tangling around the holders.</p> <h5>Features</h5> <ul> <li>Special flap-spring keeps the filament from winding back and tangling;</li> <li>Ball-joint prevents the filament from bending at sharp angles when printing high layers;</li> <li>Leg/stand is designed especially for<em>Prusa i3</em> printers. If the printer is properly assembled, there should be just enough distance from the print head and the leg hook.</li> <li>Appropriate for 1.75 filaments;</li> <li>Easy to mount and remove;</li> <li><p>The head can be easily replaced if the spring wears off or breaks. ##### Important</p> <p>In order to be able to click the head into its stand, and the flap-spring to function properly, the<strong>extrusion multiplier (wall thickness) should be properly calibrated</strong>! You can use the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2372705">Wall Thickness Calibration (Part Fitting) Test</a> to set the correct value, or you can just tune the<em>Flow</em> parameter in your Prusa live settings, until the two perfectly click together.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa Mk2</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Use ABS because of the flap-string contained in the head</li> <li>Recommended use of 3 mm brim to increase contact surface of the outer head case</li> <li>Before printing you should perform the Part Fitting calibration <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2372705">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2372705</a></li> </ul> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
