Delta Printer Filament holder Mk3 99.5% poly, Adaptable Spigot
Description
Looking Back Over The Development Of This Device I Feel I May Have Become A Little Guilty Of Taking A Simple Concept And Making It Complicated, But With Good Intentions. This Design Has Been 100% Built And Tested, And Whilst I Call This The Mk3 Design, I'Ve Actually Made And Rejected About 6 Other Design Iterations That Haven'T Made It To Public Viewing. Each Released Iteration Of This Design I Feel Has Some Merit And Maybe Drawbacks ,The First Benefits From Its Pure Simplicity And Is Very Strong, The Second Benefits From Being Made Without Need For Any Hardware, And This Version....? I Suggest To Those Interested, That Rather Than Just Opt For The Latest And Greatest Option, You Consider The Original Or Mk2 As Viable Alternatives... Maybe Even Remix Elements Of The Three Designs To Make Something That Better Suits Your Needs. What I'Ve Added To This Version Is A Spring Loaded Universal Spigot That Is Adaptable To Any Size Central Hole, The First Two Versions Solved This Problem By Using The Spigot Inserts, And If You Rarely Change Your Brand Of Filament Then This Is Simple And Great, But Each Time You Try New Filament You May Need To First Make A New Spigot Adapter. This Design Does Require A Little Hardware For The Spigot Assembly, Namely 2 Elastic Bands And 3 10Mm M3 Countersunk Screws, Hence The Loss Of Its 100% Poly Rating. With This Iteration I Think There Is Still Room For Improvement And I Offer The Challenge To Improve It To Others, Whilst I Would Particularly Like To Get Rid Of The Screws And The Elastic Bands My Attempts At Doing This Yielded Poor Results, Maybe Find A Better Way Of Setting The Spool In Place, Or Making The Assembly A Little Easier, There Is A Lot Of Scope Where An Imaginative Builder Can Effect Improvements, But For Myself I Feel Its Time To Move Back To My Other Projects. Btw Apologies For The Poor Videos, They Are There To Try And Help, But You May Enjoy Them For Their Comedic Value.... Pity They Don'T Do Oscars For Best Movie Where The Camera Falls Over.
