FlashForge Guider II - Make Spool Holder Bracket Compatible With the Filler Filament Roller - Part 2

This video series shows how I used 3dBuilder to create a Filler Filament Roller compatible bracket that would fit the Guider II.

Part 1 covers using 3dBuilder to modify existing models to make a Filler Filament Roller compatible bracket that would fit the Guider II.

Part 2 covers printing that bracket and the rest of the parts needed for the Filler roller while not being able to use the spool holder bracket that came with the printer. The spool holder that comes with the Guider II doesn't fit the reels of filament I'm using. So I'm boot strapping a new spool holder.

I really like the "Filler" filament roller. I used it with my NX and I wanted to use with the Guider II as well.

I like the "self-centering" mod for that spool holder. Here's my remix of a Filler-compatible, self-centering filament roller):

I can use the same roller, I just need to print a bracket that fits into the back of the Guilder II that's will accept the fixture on the end of the roller. But I'm printing another one just in case the first one breaks which has happened in the past!

The first bracket I printed had some problems. The weight of the reel and thin metal back of the Guider II housing would tilt the roller down slightly and the reel had a tendency to move away from the printer which caused some tangled filament when loops of filament came off the reel too soon.

So I added some bumpers on the inside top and outside bottom to tilt the bracket slightly upward. That keeps the reel from drifting away from the back of the printer.

Here's a link on Thingiverse to my bracket specific for the Guider II:
