TIG filler roller

thingiverse

I shared this design on Reddit and received platinum recognition for its innovative concept. I thought you'd appreciate seeing one too! The main body, roller, H frame are all contained within a single file labeled "TIG feed pen". I rebuilt the H frame to eliminate interference issues, renaming it "H frame TIG". Several roller options are also included in this package. I utilized an old random bearing combined with a flexible filament gripper sleeve for the rollers. Both ribbed and smooth versions of these sleeves are provided in this package. I recommend separating the items in your slicer software and deleting any unnecessary components. No supports are required for printing, regardless of the material used. To reduce friction during use, I pushed a 5mm brass tube into the body of the design. This tool has proven to be reliable after 4 hours of continuous AC aluminum welding without showing any signs of melting. Have fun experimenting with your printer and see what amazing creations you can come up with! The included package contains: * Main body * 2 screws with nuts * One flexible rubber band or similar component, possibly including an O-ring * H frame * Roller * Optional brass tube Learn more about this design here: https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/aicbdz/tig_filler_rod_feeding_tool_easy_to_manipulate
