Filament Cleaner
Description
A Simple Filament Cleaner/Lubricator To Help With Your 3D Printer. I'Ve Seen Many Designs, But Decided To Make My Own. Self-Sufficiency Is Key! Print 2 Of These, Cut Some Sponge To Go In The Alcoves. ~A Spot Of Oil On The Sponges Helps With Lubrication~, Then Attach Around Your Filament With Zip Ties (Just Above The Extruder) Voila! Less Dirt, And Less Extruder Stepper Skipping! Although Designed With 1.75Mm Filament In Mind, I Have Better Experience Scaling To 115% Before Printing :/ Lubrication Is A Bad Idea, I Discovered. Although It Appears To Stop Extruder Stepper Skipping, The Oil Clogs Up In The Throat Of The Hot End, And I Ended Up With A Severe Blockage Of Burnt Oil, And Pla That Had "Gone Weird". It Took About 45 Minutes To Unclear That Mess, So I Will Not Be Using Oil Again! Plain Sponge Does Still Help Keep Foreign Matter Out Of The Hot-End, So It Is Still A Net-Win To Use This (Or Something Similar)
