CR-10 flexible filament extruder bracket with adjustable spring tension
Source: Thingiverse by darkytoothpaste
The CR-10 flexible filament extruder bracket with adjustable spring tension is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by darkytoothpaste. Intro: I was exploring the usefulness of oiling the filament when I found that the extruder was slipping on the filament because it was so smooth (after oiling). You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
Intro: I was exploring the usefulness of oiling the filament when I found that the extruder was slipping on the filament because it was so smooth (after oiling). I realised that in the current design of the extruder, there is no way to tune the tension of the extruder gear on the filament. After searching the internet, I was surprised that I could not find any other readily available design for our stock extruder to adjust the spring tension, hence I designed this to allow for the spring tension to be adjusted. Video of how the tension can be adjusted can be found here: Note that my design would end up sacrificing one of the mounting holes. Note: I recommend printing this in a material with better heat resistance than PLA (I reprinted in PETG) as mine warped from the heat from the extruder…
