Remix: MakerBot Replicator 2 Filament Tube Holder and Centered Feeder Double Barrel!

thingiverse

This is a double-barrel version of jprikkel's filament tube holder. The filament tubes on my Rep. 2 just kept popping out, so I searched and found this gem. It just needed a couple tweaks! ;-) I shorted the down-tab, as it hung just a little lower than the original tube holder's top, and I wanted this snug against the cable block. I also bridged the two parts together and notched the down-tabs to allow for the zip-tie holding on the cable bundle. Included is a photo of the tag attached to a coil of plastic tubing I bought at the local Lowe's hardware for a Vox box I was making for my brother-in-law. It is a perfect match for the original, so they are probably from the same source. Instructions I think I sliced it with 2 shells, 15% infill and 0.3mm layer height in Makerware, built it on my Replicator 2. Pop out the popout tabs and snap it into place. I had to cut and re-zip the zip-tie holding the cable bundle in place, as the zip head was in the way; it's centered now. Good luck with your build!
