printrbot simple 1405 fillament filter & heatsink spacer
Description
The Printrbot 1405 Overheats Consistently Just After Printing For About 2 Hours And Causes The Filament To Bend And Get Tangled Between The Direct Drive And The Extruder. It Also Does Not Have Adequate Power To Install A New Fan Without An Additional Power Source. I Used A Heatsink From An Old Computer And Thermal Pasted It To The Extruder Stepper Motor And Am Able To Print As Long As Necessary. This Component Is A Guide To Keep The Filament From Getting Tangled In The Heatsink And Is Also To "Filter" The Filament On Its Way Into The Extruder. Just Add Sponge Pieces With A Drop Of Veggie Oil To The "Filter" Cylinder To Help Keep Your Extruder From Getting Clogged. Salvage A Heatsink From An Old Computer Of Your Own, Get One From A Friend, Ask A Computer Repair Or Retail Establishment, Or Buy One Online. Thermal Paste From Radio Shack Or Similar Supplier.
