Replicator 2 Front Mounted Spool

thingiverse

My Initial Experiment With A Efficient Spool Feeding Mechanism Using The Integrated Spool Holder. Includes A Sketchup File. Added The Filament Container Inspired By http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:198697 This Design Is Operational But Requires Enhancements. Issues And Tasks: Additional Support For The Spool Mounting System Needs To Be Provided (Currently It Functions) The Pre-Installed Spool Holder Supplied By Makerbot Falls Short. I Plan To Replace It With A More Satisfactory Option. Aligning The Filament Guide With The Center Of The Spool Should Improve Efficiency, So I Will Revise That Design In My Next Prototype. Combining This Design With A Dust Remover And Implementing Those Changes Now. Instructions To Assemble This Design You Will Require Three M6 X 20 Bolts With Flat Washers. After Successfully Printing The Initial Version, Consider Adjusting Settings To 0.2mm Resolution, 20 Percent Infill Rate, Three External Shells, And A Front-Down Print Orientation With Supports Engaged.
