Description

Update (5/3/23): I would now recommend that people consider trying the ShortStack Remix linked in the 4/17/23 update directly below if it meets your needs. Its been used for a few weeks with decent success, and seems mostly equivalent to this mod but is less filament to print and is more compact & stiffer, leading to less restriction on filament movement overall.

Update (4/17/23):

There is now a "short-stack" variation of the model, posted as a remix here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/15497#profileId-15292

Pros/cons versus this model listed in the link above.

 

Update (4/11/23):

Someone pointed out I posted the wrong STEP for the P1P version. Uploaded the right STEP file. Thanks!

Update (1/26/23):

Added a P1P version to address collision issues with frame on that printer. X1 users should use the original. I don't have a P1P, but a user has kindly verified that this version works for them. Note that this version might be harder to print because of lower bed surface area and you might want to go pretty slow printing it. Would suggest using a small layer height like 0.16, and/or use a nice wide brim with small brim gap.

 

This remix combines what I consider to be the best of multiple solutions to this problem:

  • Snap-on ease of use from the semi-official Bambu PTFE bracket
    • But this bracket had routing issues that caused the tube to be either too tight or to hit the top glass.
  • Superior arc/design from Mowcius's for curvature and keeping the tube angled correctly.
    • But this design came in two parts that had to be shoved together, and also tended to have the part rub the top glass. It also has a thin support arm that tended to be just a little too easy to break in ABS for me, so I thickened it.

This design has the snap-on abilities of the Bambu PTFE bracket, with the better curvature of the Mowcius bracket, and the added strength on the support arm by adding 1.5 mm thickness to it. I hope it works for you !

Tons of credit to davidja92 who made a remix like this with a mesh-mix style. I remodeled his approach here with my own finishing touches in CAD for a cleaner model and stronger arm.

Printed at 102% scale in black ABS @0.2 layer height. If you print in PETG or other plastic that shrinks less than ABS, I would suggest trying 100% scale. I'm sure it works well at smaller layer heights as well.

Ever since I put this on, AMS can't load my filament. it always succeeds the third time, or with my help. The filament gets stuck in the middle of the support. But the press profile works perfectly for both ace and abs 👍🏼

this May be the Case, but you have to tell this the Model-creator. the Stars here are for the quality of Print-arangement. Not the Model itself. so please rate the Print, Not your problems with the designers idea.

PTFE tube is finally not hitting the glass anymore 🙂, printed this using PETG and it turned out great 👌 I did have issues with first layer though so I needed to tweak it a bit to ensure adhesion is better even though there is a brim (had 2 failed tries before it worked 3rd time)

hi, kopanja, thank you for the feedback. I'll look into this. would you share the settings you changed?

If I remember correctly it was the cooling... I think originally the profile had 90% fan and I changed that to 40% which solved the issue of layers not sticking to each other (I'm not next to my computer, I'll double check this info when I'm back)

thanks for getting back to me, I'll look into this, it may be difficult to accommodate everyone as not everyone prints in PETG

Very nice! Had annoying squeaking sounds during printing caused by the tube rubbing against the top glass plate. This has solved it completely. You can see from the reflection in the picture that the tube is not touching the top plate anymore. Thanks for this!

After printing for 400 hours, the part unfortunately broke. Although I used PETG, the overall model still functions properly. I am currently printing a replacement.

yea , that doesn’t shock me .. printing one every several hundred hours isn’t that bad considering the tiny filament cost

I was printing this out of PETG and the first print got 3/4's of the way and failed. second one finished with a minor rough spot at that 3/4 mark. Part works like it's intended to. Nice mod!
