I've been fairly happy with my filament feed system that I converted from a commercial food dehydrator.
Sometime, a new spool will get a little slack, and filament will wrap around the center axel underneath the spool on the way out of the dehydrator. When that happens, it eventually will get stuck, leading to a failed print.
So, I made a sleeve that goes right under the spool that makes sure that the filament can never wrap around a radius that's smaller than the spool radius, which should prevent the problem
There are holes in the bottom to make sure that the hot air still gets to the spool to dry the filament.
Recommendation: print in spiral/vase mode with a few extra layers so that the vase mode doesn't start until the base is finished.
