PTFE Glider - Ikea 365+ Dry-Box, Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is a dry box which doesn't use bearings and instead uses 4mm PTFE Tube as a gliding surface. It's for the Ikea 365+ 10.6L Box and usable with spools from 15cm to 20cm diameter. With its 16cm of usable width it can fit spools of varying widths and can even fit three 5cm spools. It is not suitable to use without the silica container since a tangled spool can cause it to jump off but the container has an additional rail which ensures seamless glide action. Filament can be inserted into the PTFE tube to preclude squishing over time. The nut has a latch to hold the PTFE tube but it shouldn't be needed if the bowden coupler does its job. Works best if there is a small ridge in the tube the latch can hold onto. Create it by pulling and turning while its locked in a bowden coupler. Print the PTFE Cap with flexible filament.
