<p><strong>Filament Guide for the Prusa i3 MK3 duel-spool injection molded filament holder</strong><br/> <strong>Double-sided version</strong></p> <p>This is a remix of [JohnOCFII's] <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/JohnOCFII/about">https://www.thingiverse.com/JohnOCFII/about</a> excellent <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3185877">Prusa MK3 Filament Guide.</a> (Which is also now at <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/7075-prusa-mk3-filament-guide">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/7075-prusa-mk3-filament-guide</a>)</p> <p>I use both sides of the spool holder, typically alternating between them when I change filaments. John was gracious enough to share his Fusion 360 design file with me, so this was a very quick modification.</p> <p>Mine is printed in Hatchbox Orange PLA, but as John said, you could pretty much print this in any material, PLA, PETG, ABS, PC, Nylon or even NinjaFlex--but somehow I don't think a NinjaFlex guide would be too functional!</p> <p>If you are just starting out--use PLA :-).</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2rqZ6Uo">i3 MK3</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.15mm, but probably don't need that</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 30%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Hatchbox PLA Orange<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I bumped up the perimeters for this print to 5, not that it really needed them for strength, but I find you get better prints for the loops if there isn't a tiny area of infill. Increasing the perimeters removes that and doesn't really make the print take much longer or use that much more filament.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>Modified a previously existing Fusion360 design, by simply adding a mirror line in the source sketch, selecting the sketch elements to mirror and then adjusting several of the fillets.</p>
