folger tech ft 5 upgrades 3d models

**UPDATE: This part has been completely redesigned and the newer version should be used instead, as it uses less plastic, offers more rigid mounting, and looks better.** The purpose of this part (usually three or four in quantity) is to lift the bed...

... loose. Update 24 Feb 2019: 6.5mm thickness was slightly too much. Reduced to 5.5mm so the M5x10 gets full thread contact on the T-nuts. Print Settings Printer Folgertech FT-5 Rafts Doesn't Matter Supports Yes Resolution .2 layer height Infill 75%

Volcano Adapter for FT-5. This design makes it possible to use the same screws that hold down the original fan. I have successfully used this on 30-hour prints with no issues. A deliberate 1.5 mm gap is left between parts to allow clamping action...

I designed it specifically for my Folgertech FT-5 printer. The design mounts the spools at the top front of the unit, ensuring the filament flows smoothly from above without snagging on the cable chain or requiring a Bowden-style tube. To function...

This clip secures a 12" x 12" x ~0.11" mirror tile in place on the Folgertech FT-5 R2 printer's heated bed, utilizing the corner height adjustment screws to firmly hold it down. The clearance under the top lip of the part is nearly equal to the...

The bracket attaches to the screws holding together the FT-5 X carriage's two components, making it incredibly simple to add or remove as needed. You can slide it forward or backward along the screws to achieve precise alignment. Modifying the spacer...

Bolt holes are strategically positioned at 5.15mm in diameter, making it effortless to insert M5 screws that were likely left over from the FT-5 build. This design measures 200mm in length, 4mm in thickness, and stands 40mm tall. I recommend...

... The complementary fan duct, which attaches seamlessly, can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1537971. Print Settings: Printer: Folgertech FT-5 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Notes: Support is only required for the fan mount component.

The blower attaches to the fan mount using M3 screws (I know, I know...). I've also provided versions of the front plate with no FT-5 logo (in case using elsewhere) and a version with no BLTouch mount (for people who like to do things the hard way)....

I wanted to switch my FT-5 to using two linear slide rails but my existing Aeroshuttle needed adjusting for it, so I went ahead and tried to add in everything else I had considered doing to make printing easier over the past year. Presenting...

Upon request, I've updated my previous Folgertech FT-5 Opticooler remix to fit a Titan Aero hotend with V6 block. Thanks again to printingotb for his original OptiCooler design. The fan bracket mounts directly to the extruder stepper itself on the...

Human: I designed a front-mount cooler for the FT-5 with a Titan Aero installed (it will probably work with any other aero cooler). This setup will work even with the front cross bar in place, losing only about 5mm of build surface along the...

This is a remix of my FT-5 Carriage - RJ45 x 2 round sensor Mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2569068) without the sensor mount for those who don't use one and the people that have a BL-Touch. Please see other Design for the rest of the parts....

This mount wedges better between the front and rear carriage plate on the FT-5 Bought the BIGTREETECH 2 Types BLTouch Extension Cables from Amazon and connected the two wires together to make it even longer. No supports needed. Marlin 2.1.x...

Upon request, I've updated my previous Folgertech FT-5 Opticooler remix to fit a Titan Aero hotend with V6 block. I'm grateful once again to printingotb for his original OptiCooler design! The fan bracket simply mounts to the extruder stepper...

If you like the D-Link camera mounts, I use a design that is available here for 2020 extrusion and works excellently for the FT-5: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2440785 7/19/17 - UPDATE: Added another set of brackets called Lid Parts 2. These...

I have converted my FT-5 printer from Bowden filament feed back to direct drive a couple of times while fine-tuning the setup. In the process, I had to figure out how to mount the hot end onto the carriage when the extruder motor was detached. This...

I'm moving dual extrusion to my i3 and keeping the FT-5 as a high-speed, high-temp workhorse. Don't expect many more improvements to this but I'm happy to provide the steps if someone wanted to make some tweaks. I top mounted the filament spools and...

This is my first custom X-carriage and I'm new to the FT-5 but this is my fourth machine. I would recommend printing in ABS or PETG for temperature stability. This is a Chimera mount for my Folgertech FT-5. It replaces the entire X carriage. I...

... I thought I had misplaced the 2nd half of the cable chain during my FT-5 build so I designed a replacement. ... I ended up not needing to use it however these links attach to the stock ones appropriately and appear to have the same range of motion.

While using the Anycubic Ultrabase on my Folgertech FT-5 R2, I discovered that some filaments tend to stick extremely well, often too well, on the Ultrabase. Consequently, I sought a rapid solution to remove the Ultrabase and simply turn it around...

During assembly of my friend's FT-5 I developed several assembly aids that I thought others might find incredibly helpful. Y_Axis_Spacer - this part installs such that it connects the Y linear rail bar to the X frame bar at exactly 28mm spacing as...

Print Settings: Printer: Use either an FT 5 or FTi3. Rafts: It doesn't matter what type of rafts you use. Supports: Similarly, the supports are not crucial to this print. Resolution: The resolution must be set at .15. Infill: You will need to...

This is a part cooler for the Folgertech FT-5 R2. It does not work with R1. The blower mounts behind the X axis belt, closer to the central axis of the X rail. This minimizes mass hanging below the X rail and reduces wobble during rapid Y movements.

Folgertech FT-5 (R1) Print settings: x30, y30, z40 Equipped with an E3D Titan Aero Colors don't match perfectly but are original. Red components are crafted from Melamine, a wood-like material known for its hard surface that can warp significantly.

... A side mount for the front edge of the printer has been created. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2741729 Print Settings: Printer: Folger Tech FT-5 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.25 Infill: 30% Notes: Used Hatchbox PLA for printing.

Here is my FT-5 endstop. The stock endstop falls short of expectations. I opted for a solid yet simple design that prioritizes ease of printing, stability for consistent layer heights, and elimination of support material. EDIT: This mount has been...

Although I designed this for the FolgerTech FT-5, its versatility means it'll find numerous other applications. One thing worth noting is that this filament guide has a snug fit, so be sure your extrusion multiplier is set to 0.48 wall thickness and...

I did not come up with this design, a similar photo was posted by Jeff Peterson on the FT Facebook page. He hasn't released the files yet, so I created my own version. Check it out! To build this project, you'll need four of each component. Print...
