QIDI 3D X-Plus - Spool Feeder Filament Guide with Filter and Lubricator
Description
Thanks to the original designer for the Spool Holder accessory. Works like a charm, pulls filament much easier than built in option and makes spools easier to swap. My issue is that it pulls filament a little too easy and noticed the potential for issue of snags when it coils back up around the spool. I modified the original spool feeder to try to extend it out over the center of the build table and I incorporated a Universal Filament Filter and Lubricator. - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:492067 Now the filament stays centered to the build plate and doesn't feed back in as the print head moves around. It also allows using a drop or two of mineral oil to keep everything running smoothly and clean the filament before it gets printed. I attached it to my printer with Velcro on the top and back side just off-set the built-in slot for filament feeding (to leave it accessible). I also have used a little velcro to secure the original base setup to the printer and keep it from wiggling around. Thanks again!
