General Information:
This is a spool support that may be used for Sunlu S4.
Magnetic connection between the two holders.
Have a container to put molecule sieve inside to absorb H2O(g).
This filament holder solves the problem that [my] filaments spools rotate over-freely in the Sunlu S4 box and roll inside. This has caused some printing issue and I resolve this problem by using this model that I published here.
Requirements:
- At least four magnets 60mm*10mm*3mm (Buyable on Amazon)
- Strong instant glue
- A heat gun
- All printer accessories
- [Optional] Molecule sieve for removing H2O
Build instruction:
- Print ALL FILES TWO TIMES. This will give you one pair of filament holder (ONE SIDE ONLY)
- Glue magnets in the slots (N side to S side)
- Use the heat gun to heat up the thread on the MAIN and turn the corresponding parts in before it gets cold, than turn it out.
- Repeat step 3 until the LOCKER and the CAP work fluently.
- [Optional] Add the MOLECULE SIEVE into the MAIN and lock the CAP.
Installation:
- Put the MAIN body into the hole of the Filament SPOOL and put the LOCKER on.
- Place the two SUPPORTERs besides Sunlu S4's front and back wall. (Pay attention to the supporters' direction)
- Put one of the the MAIN into Sunlu S4
- Ensure that the MAIN is fixed into the SUPPORTER. (Usually, it is only fixed in XY direction, It may continue to rotate freely.)
- Put the other side of the MAIN.
- Turn this side and make sure that the magnets stick with each other.
Printing experience:
I printed the whole thing with PA66-CF. The overall strength of this design is sufficient.
Normally, this model functions without problem. I have already designed three versions and this version is the final one, which works correctly and does not depend much post-process. Printing this model may cost some filament; however, my design does not search to be filament-saving, beautiful, but functionable and durable. Almost no-reinforcement needed to match a USABLE state.
UPDATE: THE CAP DOES NOT WORK WELL. 3D Printed thread is really a bad idea. Please use M25 * 2 SET SCREW instead (10mm long).
Trying to design a beta-version which may hold itself rigidly in Sunlu S4 without using any glue.
PS. If anyone has the internal dimension of Sunlu S4, plz share with me so I could design the beta-version. Thank you.
