Replicator 2X Filament Guide Tube
thingiverse
I initially constructed a new spool holder as the default one on my Replicator 2X printer often jams, causing print failure. I used this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:53780. After assembly, I noticed an issue with the filament's sharp bend and loose spools. Searching for existing guide tube options proved unsuccessful. Determined to create my own, I utilized TinkerCad to design four parts. For the tube guides, I opted for NinjaFlex due to its flexibility for bending ends. I mirrored the first guide to create a second. I added an ABS bridge to flex ends closer to the spool center and an ABS clip to secure the zip tie clamp holding the wire bundle. Printing settings included MakerBot Replicator 2X, standard settings with raft and supports (though not necessary), NinjaFlex print speed adjustment, and retraction removal for successful prints. Overall, I'm satisfied with my first project. For NinjaFlex parts, reduce print speed and remove retraction to avoid failed prints like my initial attempt. Trim loose strands after printing.
