Filament Feeder and Cap [Modified] by leftylimbo

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a slightly modified version of the original Filament Feeder and Cap for kameya's Filament Storage Box.
In this version, the feeder "nipple" has a longer extrusion through the storage box wall in order to provide better friction and stability to the Feeder Cap, which has also been modified to have a larger diameter and domed, beveled head for better grip during installation and removal.
Please Note: I decided to have the cap positioned standing up, so that the domed knob would print clean and not be marred by support spurs which I'd have to break off and sand down afterwards. The downside is, due to a hollow shaft and slight overhang, some supports had to be generated regardless, but at least not on the domed surface.
Also note that, in keeping with the original feeder assembly design by kameya, a small amount of space has been preserved within the cap to allow for the Hole Seal Pads.
Last but not least, much thanks to kameya for designing this Filament Storage Box. We've been using ours for almost 6 months, often in heavy production intervals, and it's held up 100% solid.
