SnapMaker 2.0 - Filament Guide System

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2020
- A filament guide system based off the printers that use a stepper motor that is traditional not part of the print head. This allows the feed from the spool to be consistent and not affected by rapid movements of the print head.

It also tackles the problem of "shavings". These Snapmakers tend to rub the spool against the frame because it drags it left to right and the edge where it leans to is kind of sharp. What you notice after a while is a black dust build up on the lower end of the machine incl on the guides. Now that is something you do not want. So this is a way of solving that. Nice mod.
Thanks!
This is a really good modification - well done. I may do similar👍👍🙂
Go for it!
Is that little black part you 3D printed to replace the silver part on the top of the 3D Print module on thingiverse?
Nevermind: just found it thanks, have to say though that the feeding system you made is reallly interesting and I'll probably do something similar for my SM 2.0!
Good deal. There is a better version of that cap on thingiverse. Just check the comment on my listing and you should be able to find it.
Is there a reason why you did 3D print the disk-like adapter instead of repurposing an M6 curled nut (e.g. DIN466)?
I didn't know that nut existed, and the 3d print took like 5 minutes to design and 3 minutes to print and has worked great.
Have you noticed this performing better than the original system? Have you had any more or fewer feeding issues?
I didn't have any feed issue just using the solution that comes out of the box. I just didn't like it. It left the filament exposed and I could see with rapid head movement the spool could come unwound. This system gave me that peace of mind and the ability to hold a couple of spools and after 100+ hours of printing I have seen no feeding issues.
@@TechCentric_00 doesn't even need to be rapid. If you're printing a low object and the filament's all stretched out, the moment it homes the Z axis and goes up to the top, there's no tension on the spool - and that will cause it to come loose. A couple of times I've had it pop off to the side because the loops around the spool have gotten so loose when the Z axis has come up to the top while homing - but I've been there to catch it.
I actually thought about making something very similar to what you've done. Nice to see I wasn't the only one. :)
Very good but i do have a question do you think it will fit inside the enclosure?
I do not have one to measure. Even if the spool supports do not allow to be use inside the enclosure you can figure something out to place on the outside.
@@TechCentric_00 Thank you for the quick response. It's funny you're into the same stuff I'm doing. Boston med packs, Headway and the SM2... I subscribed and keep up the good work looking forward to more videos thank you
I would be interested in being able to purchase this system. Can you inform me on how that can be done? Thanks.
I appreciate that you like this enough to want to purchase, but it is not cost effect for me to produce this for sale. The most parts are printable and the connectors are for sale on Amazon.
Is there any chance of posting a text list of all the other parts needed that aren't included in your stls?
They are all listed in the description of the video with links.
@TechCentric_00 thanks. I completely missed them.
@@TechCentric_00what metal rod do you use?
1/4" threaded rod
@@TechCentric_00 thanks. How long is the one you use?
I dont like the design. This makes change fillament much more work.
