I wanted an oiler to stop/reduce clogging, but wanted it near the spool to stop the spool from sometimes continuously unspooling filament with the slight friction caused by the sponge/cloth.
My remix has slightly thinner walls and base, and is slightly shorter to reduce the required filament.
Printed in PLA, 3 perimeters/top/bottom.
Threaded onto wire coat hanger which is then hooked onto my spool rod.
I cut and folded some chux cloth to insert into the holder then added 3 drops of cooking oil. The sponge used in the original version would be better but I didn't have any on hand.
Thread filament and start printing.
I will probably shorten my wire so the oiler is closer to to spool but it'll so for now. The oiler is free to slide from side to side on the wire and the wire can swing back and forward if needed.
