MK3S FS Cover with PTFE tube mount

thingiverse

This uses the original part made by Prusa Research, but with a PTFE tube holder added (under GPLv3). No fitting needed, this uses a conical hole to grab the PTFE tube. The reason to add the PTFE tube is to keep the X-axis from yanking on the heavy spool. This is the same setup as used by Aleph Objects LulzBot TAZ 6. This is only really needed if you decide to move the filament spool away from the intended location (above the z-axis). It is also useful together with the SpannerHands Spool System. The following openSCAD code was added to the original file (everything else was kept unaltered (except the revision text)): ``` module PTFE_Tube() { difference() { union () { translate([0,0,5]) cylinder(h=10,r=4,$fn = 60); } translate([0,0,4.9]) cylinder(h=11, r1=2, r2=2.2, $fn = 60); translate([0,0,13]) cylinder(h=4, r1=2, r2=4, $fn = 60); } } PTFE_Tube(); ```
