Spaghetti Josef Extruder Motor Visualizer

prusaprinters

<p>This Extruder Visualizer is based on the “Josef Slurping Spaghetti” graphic found on empty Prusament spools. The two-tone Josef component slides onto the extruder motor. &nbsp;The spool is made in two segments so no supports are necessary and everything prints fast. &nbsp;The “Filament” slips over the “Spool Front” and then the two spool halves are held together with a small dab of glue. &nbsp;It is important that the "Filament" component does not get glued to the spool and can rotate freely. &nbsp;The Josef component can be slid onto the motor and the loose end of the filament inserts into the hole in the Josef component. &nbsp;You may have to heat up the loose end of the filament and form it into shape so it curves into Josef's mouth correctly. &nbsp;The last thing to determine is how to attach the spool to the extruder motor. &nbsp;I used a 6mm diameter x 1.7mm thick magnet that I got in an assortment from Amazon. &nbsp;If you'd like to use a different attachment method, let me know and I can modify the “Spool Back” file to suit your solution. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Since the extruder motor can get hot, it is recommended to print these parts out of PETG, ABS, ASA or another relatively high-temperature material.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are other extruder visualizers that riff off of this same basic concept:</p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/181350-stabilized-prusament-spool-motor-visualizer">Stabilized Prusament Spool Motor Visualizer</a></p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/188676-prusameter-visualizer">PrusaMeter Visualizer</a></p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/122760-josef-prusa-stepper-motion-indicator">Josef Prusa Stepper Motor Indicator</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
