Da Vinci Pro Radius FeedTube Hack

thingiverse

*UPDATE The original "thing" failed in the apex of the radius after about two hundred hours of printing.After inspection, I determined that it didn't wear through as I suspected, but the walls were just too thin. I have added a revised version to fix this and a gcode file with my exact settings for printing the part. Pro_feeder_tube_2 should not need to be drilled or tapped as I have designed in the M5X0.8 threads. Long radius feed tube designed to overcome jamming, clogging, and lack of part adhesion to bed surface and individual layers on Da Vinci Pro due to feeding restrictions. This part is in addition to more extensive modifications detailed here: https://youtu.be/tjNEtWyD2pc . Tube will need to be drilled and tapped with 5mmX.8 on bell end. Recommend ABS with print at speeds for quality (ie 10-20mm ps) Print Settings Printer: DaVinci Pro Resolution: 2mm Infill: 100% Post-Printing After printing shave off enough of the support rail to allow the tube to insert into the pneumatic fitting as shown in video and tap bell end 5mm X 0.8 pitch.
