Remix: Side Spool Holder. No bearings, all printed parts

Side spool holder - remix

• Side spool holder, all printed parts
• No bearings, no PC4-M10 fitting

Remix changes:

• Design change for the bearings on the spool holder, the holes are smaller to fit the round part of the roller
• Design change for the filament guide: made the hole smaller to fit/block the PTFE tube
• Changed the print profile

Print details:

• I used the textured PEI plate, cleaned it with soap and started printing. No issue with bed adhesion. But you can definitely use other plates for PLA as well.
• The roller is printed with variable layer height, as in the original post
• Only support is added to the roller, the rest prints without support

Assembly guide

• Remove the support from the roller and check for any debris on the small rolling parts. You can use a piece of sandpaper to smoothen this
• Press/fit the roller in the side spool and add some lube to it. Don't use liquid lube.
• Remove the metal spool holder from the back of the printer
• Install the printed side spool mount with 2 x M3 screws
• Install the PTFE tube guide by first removing the 2 small screws on the printer and inserting with 2 longer screws.
• Add a piece of PTFE tube from the guide to the printer and you're done

Print time and used material:

• Print time: 3 hours and 40 minutes
• PLA filament, approximately 95gr
