Up Plus2 extended filament holder / spool shaft

thingiverse

Manufacturing engineers now produce a superior upgrade to the iconic UP Plus2 extruder rod by creating a longer and more robust design. This improved assembly replaces the original unit entirely, granting users unparalleled freedom to experiment with new prints and techniques. Assembly and usage instructions follow below for those looking to seamlessly integrate this custom part into their UP Plus2 ecosystem: After printing, remove any support material present around the extended shaft. Apply a light coat of silicone oil to ensure smooth rod motion. Insert this longer rod in place of the standard one, then readjust and secure the print head's x-axis carriage. Setting Z-resolution: Configure the UP software or other slicer interfaces for precision z-steps by setting them at 0.2 millimeters (mm), giving users increased resolution for complex prints that require ultra-high definition textures. Setting Solid Infill: Set solid infill settings according to standard guidelines, typically in conjunction with wall thickness adjustments to maximize strength without unnecessary added weight or waste materials.
