Flashforge Adventurer 3 cover

thingiverse

Now updated to Version 2. I recently got my first 3d printer, a Monoprice Voxel, which is a re-branded Flashforge Adventurer 3. The printer has a fully enclosed area to hold the filament spool. I like the printer, but one of the downsides is that the enclosed spool holder only holds 0.5 kg spools. I bought a bunch of 1 kg spools so they have to go on an external spool holder, which is fine, but then the spool cover can't be put back on. So for my first task, I designed a cover for the spool holder with an opening to feed the filament through. This is a work in progress. It could use some improvements. But I am putting it here in case anyone else finds it useful. Version 2 changes : 1. Split the cover into 5 pieces instead of 4, with a single piece for holding the sliding latch, so that the sliding latch is held more firmly. 2. Changed the filament slit so that the cover can now be removed and put back in place without having to unload the filament. 3. Increased the size of the pins from 3 mm to 5 mm. 4. Adjusted the radii of the curved portion of the top piece slightly 5. Split the bottom latch between the left and right cover pieces.
