FT-6 G3 Glider filament management system (Swappable Run-out Sensor Posts)

thingiverse

Hey guys - Will update description later - Just wanted to get a file up for those who saw the G3 'Glider' Filament Management System I thought up an implemented on my FT-6 Build video today and were interested! NOTE** ------ Added just now for those downloading to be aware of --- I rushed to get this out to people interested - Have printed this exact model out and please not guys this needs a tad bit of work / alpha release - tolerances of the interlocking grooves for the detachable filament guide for the upcoming mounts for filament run-out detectors (7/11/19 I should be receiving in some other laser filament sensors that 100% work with Duet as jam detection as well as run-out by using an optical encoder - excited about that as have the code and everything ready for it and the creator confirms its working) Just note there are small issues with this in my slicer I have noticed / based on my fast modeling techniques using a SUPER basic 3D editor aka windows 3D builder vs drawing this up in Fusion 360 - For speed editing im faster with 3D Builder to get more simplistic models made more quickly - in this case for some reason despite the holes being completely cleared for screw mounting to the H block carriages - in my slicer anyway (Cura) the holes have a glitch with about 1 or 2 layers that print the holes closed despite it not being a feature of the model. Just note this will need some cleanup but its 99% of whats needed to get your own glider filament management system up and running - can poke through these holes as I have done etc. I will post completely reformed versions of it once I have time and one that includes the laser optical encoder that works with duet with an adapter made for it and some common run-out sensors to clip on to this. --------** In a version I uploaded the matching Spool that mates with this system in case you didn't have it - Need to add original Spool Portion designer here* Will do later once I can hunt it down.
