thingiverse

The design of this device is focused on simplifying the process of printing TPU filament. By reducing the amount of force required for the motor to pull in the filament, it becomes easier to manage the printing process. This device can be easily integrated into the front or back of the Qidi Tech 1 printer. The width of the bearings used in this design is adjustable, allowing for compatibility with both wider and thinner filament reels. To create this device, you will need bearings with a specific set of dimensions: an outer diameter (OD) of 22mm, an inner diameter (ID) of approximately 7.7mm, and a thickness of 7mm. To print the necessary components, follow these steps: 1. Print one Bottom1 component. 2. Print one Bottom2 component. 3. Print one Top1 component. 4. Print one Top2 component. 5. Print four Bearing Holder components. 6. Print four Bearing holder2 components. 7. Print one Midbottom component. 8. Print one Midtop component. 9. Print four Bearing Ring components. 10. Finally, print one Filament Holder component.
