folger tech i3 review 3d models

Rev17 Slider for M6 Wheel Screws As per a request, I added a slider to use M6 holes for the wheels instead of the M5 holes. The STL files & openscad files for those have M6_ as the prefix of the names. Rev23 Carriage I had to add more access room for...

A simple filament guide I use in conjunction with CerHewer's FT5 spool stand, which I've found to be incredibly effective. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1705478 This guide keeps the filament centered and close to the spool, significantly...

This part enables you to utilize a generic Y-axis LM8UU holder, such as the one included with the Prusa Mendel i2. The STL files for the LM8UU mount used in the kit are not provided on the Google Drive, so this allows a third-party LM8UU holder with...

I sought a solution to secure the glass firmly to the heat bed without drilling through it. To achieve this, I designed a clamp that allows easy clamping with just a few screws - I opted for M4 hex head screws, tapping a hole as needed. ...This...

The stock endstop on the Cloner falls woefully short of expectations. It's extremely challenging to adjust and necessitates a spacer to add anything to the bed surface, whether that's glass or thick PEI. I decided to design a straightforward...

Just a big bed test I run on my FT6.

These lines up perfectly with my car. The holes where the e3d slides in need some cleaning to snap it into place without a hitch. You can combine any files you like if that suits your needs. Back OEM Trimmed features the edges pre-cut for E3D...

I install the T8 4 Start Lead Screw with an 8mm pitch to resolve the issue of the bed rising too quickly during initial prints. Currently, I'm using this modification on the left side as the right side features a high sensor that controls the stop. ... ...

Human: Good: Since I upgraded my Kossel to longer magnetic rods, I got an effective printing diameter of 200 mm. :D Bad: That diameter is so big, that now one of the cooling fans hits the PSU. :P Solution: Standoffs for the PSU. It pushes the PSU...

You can enhance your frame rigidity by installing supports along the Y and X axes, specifically targeting the middle 2020 beams. Alternatively, you can run them along the lower beams; however, doing so will currently obstruct your USB port. I'm...

I printed L and T brackets from ESUN PETG, which proved to be extremely robust and functioned flawlessly. I've successfully assembled a Lead Screw version of the FT-5 using these brackets. ...Most recently, I retrofitted a Corner brace to my FT-5 R2, as...

The stock cooling for the FT-5 is severely lacking AND excessively loud. To bring my printer close to complete silence while significantly reducing temperatures for both the stepper drivers and the power supply, I devised a solution. Print two of...

I reworked this in OpenSCAD so I could shorten it, adjust the diameter of holes and have the plastic avoid solder joints on switches. I realized one M3 bolt was enough to hold it to the extrusion even after adding a bump for aluminum fitment. The...

Manually leveling the bed for printing involves a few key settings. ...Printing Settings are crucial here, and they are as follows: Print Settings Printer: Anet A2 Plus Rafts: No rafts needed Supports: No supports required Resolution: Set to 0.2...

This adapter plate serves as a vital component, transforming the X-axis carriage of a standard Folger Prusa i3 into a dual extrusion setup. By utilizing the complete extruder assembly provided with the Folger kit, users can seamlessly upgrade their...

A bracket for securing the stationary end of the wiring harness that connects to the printhead of a Folger Technologies RepRap 2020 Prusa i3 model 3D printer is provided.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: \n RepRap\n \n Printer: \n Folger RepRap 2020...

The end stop mount that comes with the Folger i3 2020 has a major flaw. It doesn't sit perfectly still: when trying for precise alignment, even a slight movement is unacceptable. The limit switch mounting holes are positioned far too close to the...

Print Settings: * Printer: Original Prusa I3 MK2 * Rafts: No * Supports: No * Resolution: 200 Microns * Infill: 30% * Notes: This was printed with a 20mm brim to prevent warping during the printing process. Post-Printing: Tight Tolerances Require...

**Power Supply and Ramps**: moved to outside 2020 frame Please note that some of these components might be optional or have alternatives, and it's essential to review the assembly and make a checklist before starting the build. ... Also, there are links...

Vendor-specific accessories enable precise control over the Z-axis, allowing for adjustments tailored to their equipment's unique specifications.

Updated 2016-10-03, the design has been strengthened with an expanded input end that accommodates filament movement across the spool. ... Designed to guide your filament from a left-side spool holder down to the extruder, this add-on features holders...

Thicker is optional, let's go with thinner. We design this new one specifically for being squeezed between a fan and a heat sink, which gives it some leeway to be super thin even when compressed in there! ...As for the probe itself, we're borrowing...

The belt and zip tie were obstructing everything. ...That's all taken care of now.

A tiny tensioner to ease the burden on the cable's heavy chain.

I wasn't thrilled with the z-stop mount that came with the printer. Like many people, I found it to be flimsy, easily out of alignment, and hard to accurately adjust. I experimented with an inductive sensor but encountered reliability issues, which...

During initial testing with the FT-5, I observed how the hotend movements were also causing filament to drag off the spool. Given the high travel speeds of the x-y carriage on an FT-5, I decided it wasn't a good idea to let the same movement unwind a...

Replacing the default button with a more personalized option is a no-brainer.

Update 11/8/2016 After re-printing this again for the left side with the cable, I discovered that this side was 2mm longer opening, prompting me to create Long & Short versions. I also noticed two nice holes on the aluminum vertex where I can wire...

To thwart bending of melamine or any other material, it's essential to counteract the twisting force exerted by the X carriage mounting screws. ...By doing so, we can significantly enhance the overall stiffness and stability of the carriage assembly.

Simple radial fan mount and inductance probe mount I designed and use on my Folgertech FT-5 printer. The fan is mounted using 3mm x 20mm screws, with a slight boost in clearance achieved by cutting the fan mount holes so that screw heads sit flush...
