JG Aurora A3 Filament guide

thingiverse

I remixed a members filament holder to fit the A3 and have had pretty good success but no matter how well I tuned my printer I kept getting minor inconsistencies.. I finally figured out it was because the spool was being jerked sometimes during fast travel or at the end of the bed. I looked it up and a lot of large format printers have tubing running from the spool entry to the direct drive extruder and they call it reverse bowden. I created this in tinkercad https://tinkercad.com/things/ltjbhRIq9jZ feel free to download it and mess with it.. I named it V6 as that is as many times as it took me to get it right. It clips pretty tight to the top and snaps around the back of the bottom of the upper frame rail. I wanted it like this so it would be movable depending on what spool I am using at the time. Print Settings Printer: JG Aurora A3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I printed this in PETG because I sometimes enclose the printer to print ABS and some of the parts have cracked or deformed due to the temps it gets in the enclosure.. I am not sure if the size or dimensions will change printing in different filament types How I Designed This Designed in Tinkercad
