Makerbot 5th Gen Large Spool Adapter
thingiverse
Not sure why so many folks like to complicate the hell out of things. This little device will allow anyone with a 5th Gen printer to use the 1KG PLA 1.75mm filament spools from Inland (15 bucks from here: http://www.microcenter.com/product/434394/175mm_Black_PLA_3D_Printer_Filament_-_1kg_Spool_(22_lbs). I use nothing, and I mean NOTHING else, except for some ninja-flex stuff. NOTE- you must be using the SMART EXTRUDER + , as this will not work with the "false jam" prone original smart extruder. I have tested this adapter on over 60hrs printing since I finally got my SMART EXTRUDER + last week to replace the garbage this machine came with. I will be making similar adapters for other types of spools in the near future. Oh, and if you appreciate this money saving design feel free to tip my Paypal @ ionicbond@aol.com Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .20mm Infill: 10% Notes: Model Print settings: Raft - can print with and without raft Supports - requires no supports Layer height: .20mm Infill 10-20% ( I believe I printed it with 10% infill) Shells/Walls - 2 .FLAT SIDE IS THE BOTTOM AND, WHEN INSTALLED, SITS AGAINST THE BACK RING OF THE SPOOL HOLDER.
