Swing-arm filament guide for FlashForge Dreamer

thingiverse

I updated the base to fit better with the Dreamer body and sit more securely when the lid is on, April 10th, 2016. A new filament guide comes with a swinging arm, designed for external filament rolls. It works best with a shim from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1086228. The base is meant to attach to the front or side of the Dreamer. **Print Settings** - **Printer**: FlashForge Dreamer - Rafts: No - Supports: No - Resolution: .2 mm - Infill: 50% - **Notes**: Use FlashForge ABS with an Extruder at 235°C and a Heated Bed at 120°C. The base should be printed in ABS, but the guide arm can be done in PLA. **Post-Printing** You will need the following components to assemble this project: - 1 x 608ZZ bearing - 1 M8 bolt or small length of M8 threaded rod - 1 or 2 M8 nuts - 2 M8 washers To assemble, insert the bearing into the guide arm. It should fit snugly (OpenSCAD files are included if you need to make adjustments). If using a rod, thread an M8 nut at one end and add a washer, then pass it through the holes in the base and the bearing. Add another washer and thread an M8 nut on the bottom. The arm should swing freely.
