Remixing a Side Filament Loader for the Flashforge Dreamer (NX) - (The Iterative Process) - Part 5
This video series shows how I used an iterative process to remix a filament side loader to fit the FlashForge Dreamer (NX) 3d printer.
Part 1 covers:
1) The original design I downloaded from Thingiverse (ReFiller - Filler-compatible, self-centering filament roller):
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4605360
It was a remix of the original design of this side loader (Filler - The Customizable Filament Holder that fills your printer!):
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3020026
1) Printing the remixed design.
Part 2 covers:
1) Cleaning up the printer after printing with PETG
2) Evaluating the initial remix print.
Part 3 covers:
1) Redesigning two of the parts in the remix: the end pins that engage the roller skate bearings.
2) Using 3D builder to modify the spool so that both ends accept inserted pins which will be stronger
3) How to print parts in different orientations to make them stronger.
Part 4 covers:
1) Installing the remixed project on the Dreamer NX and trying it out
2) Modifying the bracket which holds the side loader using a piece of 1/2" plywood so it will fit snuggly
Part 5 covers:
1) Using 3D builder to redesign the bracket that holds the side loader so it fits snuggly without using any wood.
