AM8 2040 spool holder with PTFE tubes
Description
This is simple, 3 part spool holder for my printer. I looked for one that can be mounted in front of the printer, on the side and I decided to make one myself. It holds 1kg spools easly. Additionally, to lower friction and make rotating of the spool easy I decided to add e few grooves for PTFE tubes. To use them you will need a standard 4/2mm PTFE tube - about 0,5m should be enough. To install PTFE tube You need to unscrew a cap and use pliers to slightly squeeze a tube from circle to an oval shape (just not too much) and slide it into a grooves. Grooves are designed to be 4,1mm in diameter but usually printers with a standard 0,4mm nozzle print such small holes as smaller so finally it should be tight fit. After installing all tubes just screw a cap and that is all. You will need to rotate each part for printing: - mount should be printed flat on the side - holder should be printed standing with threaded part up - cap should be printed flat You don't need any supports. Threads are 45 degrees and should print without any problems.
