Soporte de filamento con rodamientos para Artillery Genius

thingiverse

I'm using a support that comes with the Artillery Genius and it seems uncomfortable because you have to adjust the width of the spool and if you use smaller spools (I use 300 g) you also have to adjust the distance between the bearings. I've made this support based on another one I did for the Anet A6 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4406996 which in turn is modified from those seen in the description of the link. Now, it's not necessary to touch the support to put any spool, just place the bearings in their place and you're ready. It fits into the same slots as the factory one where it stays perfectly attached. It consists of two aluminum tubes of 8 mm (usually found in craft stores) and 101 mm long and 4 or 6 bearings of 22 mm with a hole of 8 and a thickness of 7, like these https://cutt.ly/byGBrHZ The bearings have a housing for the bearing track of the spool. If you use BQ filament, the spools have unequal sides so the filament housings have to be different diameters. I usually put three bearings on each side and thus cover all spool options. The bearings enter under pressure into the housings but we can add a few drops of hot silicone if we want an extra fix. The maximum width of the spools is about 80 mm. The left part of the support has a housing for the filament sensor, we can use the same screw that holds it to the original support. The left piece needs supports (attached to the bed). Otherwise, the print is simple, at 0.2 mm height per layer and with 20% infill.
