{"data":{"model":{"id":"96486","slug":"hanging-filament-roller","name":"Hanging filament roller","authorship":"author","club":false,"excludeCommercialUsage":false,"price":null,"eduProject":null,"ratingAvg":"0","myRating":null,"ratingCount":0,"description":"

This is a simple hanging filament spool roller with two versions of the support frame. One version (hanging_filament_roller1.stl) hangs on a vertically mounted bracket (like the one provided with some Creality printers). The other version (hanging_filament_roller4.stl) uses a 4 or 5mm T nut to attach to a 20x20 frame.

The roller that fits in the frames is formed from two copies of the part \u201changing_filament_roller2\u201d joined by the part \u201changing_filament_roller3\u201d, a short rectangular bar in a press fit. \u00a0 A 608 style bearing fits on the nubs on either end of the roller.

9/5/2021 update

I also have included an offset, 20X20 mounted, reverse bowden mount (ext rev bowden mount.stl) I use with the hanging roller used on my Creativity ELF. It uses two PC4-M6 pneumatic fittings. You probably want to drill/ream the 2mm bore to ensure easy filament movement. It is offset to avoid filament rubbing on the spool edge.\u00a0

I later replaced it with a version that has the bowden passthrough at a 22.5 degree angle for better function (rev bowden mount-22-5).

Notes:\u00a0

No supports are needed. Print two copies of the roller half (hanging\\_filament\\_roller2.stl) standing upright. Join the two halves with the small bar (hanging\\_filament\\_roller3.stl).

The nubs at either end of the roller are axles for 608 bearings.

\u00a0

The bearings can rest in the depressions on the frame without attachment, or you can add a dab of CA glue to help keep them anchored.
