Description

PDF

The MMU3 comes with 5 sets of injection-molded spool-holders, the (also injection-molded) connectors that are part of the package are designed for a circular arrangement which requires quite a lot of space - it e.g. doesn't really fit on top of the original prusa enclosure.

This design consists of a new straight connection-bar that can be printed on an MK4. It is therefore split in two pieces that fit the MK4 print-bed. Both pieces are being connected with a wider PTFE-holder-connector.

  • the connection-bar fits the print-bed of the MK4, it can be printed as it is without supports. 2 instances are needed to accommodate all 5 spool-holders.
  • the PTFE-holder-connector should be printed on the side, with Brim enabled and ‘Support on build plate only’.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

the connector that connects the two pieces of the connection-bar was created from scratch, it is inspired by the design of the ‘MMU3 printable parts PTFE-holder’.
