PRINTER FILAMENT BUNG (SUNLU BOX UPGRADE)

thingiverse

Summary (updated) I liked the Sunlu FilaDryer S1 3D Printing Mate design and appears to be well designed, but product needs more work! 1. They need to look at filament output with a modular output option. 2. Should have a small (but quiet) circulation fan added. (working on that) 3. humidity sensor Mount is now incorporated in the bung. 3a.

They need to evaluate the cost and performance. As is a little overpriced. Still quite functional but additions needed or required. This is the next option I am looking at https://www.eibos3d.com/ ($125) The thing I did not like the most was the filament options for routing out of the box. I use the Prusa i3 MK3S with MMU2S but needed to keep the 5 filaments dry with continuous printing. So I designed a 2 piece bung to add a new filament track out the back of the box for the PTFE tube. (also looking at other location options) I had to drill 1/2" and 4 3/32" clearance holes for the fasteners. The Push-To-Connect will self thread into the Bung Cap. This works great so far and I do not need the filament buffer as filament is contained in the Sunlu S1. All files included so you can modify if needed. I used fasteners and a Push To connect for the filament tube 1. Qty 1 - Push-To-Connect - https://www.mcmaster.com/51025K774/ 2. Qty 4 - #2 Torx screw - https://www.mcmaster.com/96001A156/ 3.
