Cartridge Replacement Tube - The KISS Method!!

[MegaloDon]

Could you design it to use a 608 bearing on the other side?

The reason for using the other gear was so you can manually feed the filament from the front. You would put a 'key' in the other gear to turn it. I'm looking at another approach right now.

I love this so I did a video on it. (just like the one I did on how to use the hack)






Few questions.

Has anyone had the 3 mm PTFE come out of the 4 mm PTFE? If so how are you keeping it in there? 1 of my extrudes is fine but the other slipped out.

Is there a reason why none of the STLs are on Thingiverse? I've linked a lot of the posts here in my video but I would love to link the files on Thingiverse.

Many of the files are in .cube3 format, that's why.

Thanks for the video too!!

You may want to switch to better quality fittings (FESTO are the best ones I think), or print and use these:

Its not coming out of the fitting. The PTFE tubes came out of each other.

All the ones I downloaded for the video I made were in STL format which I printed either on the Cube or another one of my printers. Its just easier to keep track of the pieces in a Cube3 collection on Thingiverse.

AH the inverse.

THen try to push the fitting as much as possible while also pushing down the PFTE against the metal part... It's a shame when it happens, yes.

This is a fairly old thread and we have made it much easier to upgrade your Cube 3 with printed parts.

We have 2 options for replacing the cartridge completely:

And a 3D Printed print head.

As well as other hacks; some still being worked on.
I can put my hacks on Thingiverse if you like. I have a couple on there now. My user name is MajorOCD.


Bo, can you update the links on the "Printable Cube3 Hacks and Parts" thread?
