Exactly. Things can get nasty for the new spools when the filament is close to the edge of the spool.

@@medyk3D I thought much the same myself (great minds think alike, and yet fools seldom differ). But yeah, it needs a little bit of "tug" (a governor would be nice) to stop that happening. I even considered driving a second stepper with an old extruder to feed out a little slack on demand but that's too damn complex (too much to go wrong). Now wait until a certain Australian chap allegedly steals the design... (cough, splutter)

@@marcdraco2189 I have a governor that YOU ARE WELCOMED TO TAKE!!! PLEASE!!! He's GRUESOME to any SANE minds left in this uber-BLUE (not red, AAMOF. Yikes!) state, and I'm SICK AND TIRED of his arrogant STUPIDITY!

@@palewriter1856 Florida? I feel for you/

@@marcdraco2189 Uh - NO - wrong coast! Problem is: my mental flatulence in swapping the r/b color scheme. Pardon me while I drop back and correct my stupid blunder!!

But that's what TY has become: self-promoting infomercials, and mindless stuff with baited titles (and unrelated thumbnails) to maximize views and ad click-throughs. Gone are the days when someone just wants to share something cool without hard or self selling.

this is how I would have done it as well

care to share your design STL?

lol saw this comment right after posting mine. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones.

or create a thread with opposite rotation thread

Thank you for the kind words. Have a great day!

It's boring seeing the same old weak comments that think they are so astute. Let's look at it this way: I let hundreds of designers go before me and make their best object then I made a better version. Am I a better designer than everyone who came before me, or is this just the way iterative design in a society happens?

@@DesignPrototypeTest That's like saying you have no original ideas. You can only take someone else's idea, tweak it a bit, and profit from it. The real issue is you're working within a community that is traditionally open source. The model you "remixed" was open source an licensed under Creative Commons - Attribution - Non-Commercial - No Derivatives. The least you could have done was to credit the original designer, link to your remix, and piss on the creative commons license (however you want to interpret it) it was published under by putting it behind a Patreon paywall. I would not have even bothered commenting, because I know it takes a lot of work to put these videos out and getting any kind of return in investment is difficult. I contribute to many Patreon accounts with this in mind. However, your attitude and egocentric replies to some of these comments is repulsive. If you're doing that poorly, then find another source of income that isn't so stressful for you.

The original licence that’s its free to remix even for commercial purposes. He should give credit though.

I did not remix anything. I started from a blank screen in CAD, and based my measurements off the spools which I showed in the video. Every single facet of my design is my creation. Is a Tesla Model S a Remix of a Ford Taurus?

FYI - 608 bearings with metal shields (608 ZZ or 2Z) are non contact.

Thank you for enjoying my video even though my patreon supporters make it possible for me to continue making videos. Communism always fails.

I always have problems with the spool getting dragged out of it as the filament nears the end with the TUSH design. The last of.the filament usually feeds fine jammed sideways against my printer, but it is hardly ideal.

@@adaycj yep, same problem 😔

I haven't tried it myself, but a spool weight might help: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4266659

Yep. There's pretty much nothing. That's worth DIYing anymore. Except that it feels good to accomplish things instead of just buying them.

Can you guys quit with these "remix" arguments? I did not remix anything. I started from a blank screen in CAD, and based my measurements off the spools which I showed in the video. Every single facet of my design is my creation. Is a Tesla Model S a Remix of a Ford Taurus? I gave credit to every single source of inspiration I found for my design. Just because DukeDoks made a version with Keyways before me doesn't mean I copied him. I wasn't even aware of his solution until you told me to go look for it, and it's functionally quite different from mine. DukeDoks' solution incorporates keyways as well, but the cone still threads onto the axle. You bring up the irrelevant TT copycat issue makes me think you have a bias against me. Are you trying to harm my reputation, by finding some minute instance of inconsistency in my motivations/actions like I'm some sort of political candidate? Even if I am a hypocrite (and I endeavor not to be so) that doesn't change the validity of my message. Did you see this video of mine that provides a pretty final answer to the "Is TT copying DPT?" Question: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKtnjdKIyN_HZqs.html

I did not remix anyone else's work. I started from a blank screen and drew every single facet of my geometry. By your reasoning Tesla should pay Ford a royalty check because clearly a Model S is just a remix of a Taurus. Also, please unsubscribe from my channel and do not watch any more of my videos. I do not give you permission to watch my content. You are worse than a free loader. You are actually attacking me for daring to ask for compensation for the value I have added.

​@@DesignPrototypeTest I apologize, I can only know what you show me. I'd suggest focusing on that next time. Your video spends a lot of time showing us other designs and goes on to make it look like you picked someone else's design and changed one thing. I know it's important to draw from what already works and improve from there, but I didn't get the impression that you designed it entirely yourself, I didn't get to see that process. It felt like "look at this design, I like this one... and here's what I changed" basically. I would have loved to see your process more in-depth, even a timelapse would have been nice, or maybe a brief review of your itinerations to your final result? I do recognize I came out the gate rude, and assumed somethings I shouldn't have. I'm not sorry for standing up for the other designer, but I am honestly sorry for misjudging you. I've had people take my own work, make tiny changes, then claim it as their own - so I was a bit harsh because I know how that feels. I hope in the future you're a bit nicer to new viewers that stumble across your channel. I'm not a subscriber, never was. This video is public, anyone can find it and watch it. You may want to change your upload settings if you meant this to be a private video.

Apology accepted. The core value of this channel is recognizing original creators in an attempt to have them reap the rewards for their contributions. I provided a tour of existing "prior art" to show the evolution of the design. I am merely adding the latest creation in a chain of ever improving designs. I'm sure someone can improve upon what I have made. I hope they will acknowledge those who came before them as I did here.

@@DesignPrototypeTest , that Taurus/ Tesla thing that you used repeatedly was not the best analogy. Thank you for showing the older designs btw.

He addressed exactly why he did that in the video. If the cone is the nut, it can be unscrewed by the spool and lose tension. By having the cone keyed and the nut to secure it, there is very little chance of the nut backing off.

I was wondering the same thing.

Another solution is to open the bearings, clean them and change the lubricant for grease. I have used it for other projects with the same purpose.

watch the video, mate. it's clearly a joke. and he tells you it is before the intro starts

u mad bro?

Until I forget and load the filament roll backwards so it is pulling with the opposite rotation. Not realizing my mistake until the spool falls off the printer.

Good Ideas!

Sorry to repeat you suggestion before reading the comments. You beat me.

Yup. So much easier since it's all 3dp anyway

patreon.com/designprototypetest

You know, one simple TPU part should do the job. Just a tube with a couple of drag arms that fits snug over the bolt. Might even even be able to design it so you can adjust the drag by how much you squeeze it between a couple of nuts. Wanna race? lol. I'd rather just download yours you know. :)

Just like a box/table fan 👍

What happens when you flip the spool and unroll the filament from the other side?

Apple had a patent. You are confusing intellectual patent law with "remixing" of digital models and the associated open source licensing. If I don't use the source code (the original model) and instead start from a blank screen then I am not bound by the GPL under which the source code was shared. Even if I had used the source code, according to the GPL v3.0 I am allowed to charge money or any other compensation I would like for my creation/addition. The GPL does require that I share the source code WITH MY PAYING CUSTOMERS if they ask for it, but I am not required to share with anybody else. I don't owe the freeloading a-holes of the world open access to my work. I'm not required to post my geometry anywhere. You aren't a virtuous champion of open source. You are attacking an impoverished KZfaqr who makes less than $5 per hour for my efforts here. You are demanding that I work for you for free. Furthermore, all these comments about this particular subject are from anonymous avatars with very new membership dates. You are a sock puppet master trying to convince me this is some kind of general public consensus. If your motivations were upstanding you would wouldn't be hiding in the shadows. You would show your face and honestly be representing yourself along with your message. What you are doing is shameful and you know. You are a shady piece of garbage trying to justify thievery.

If you haven't checked recently I see most colors in stock on Amazon.com now.

It's very doable by it violates the K.I.S.S. principle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle

You are like the tenth person to leave this comment. What happens when you install the spool backwards? It pulls from the other side thus unwinding the reverse threads. My design is more foolproof and guaranteed not to fail.

@@DesignPrototypeTest I didn't criticize your plan, there's no problem with that! I just wrote that I think this is an overrated problem! I simply mounted the original cr3 axle and that's it.

When spool is flipped and feeds from the other side the nut would still unthread (theoretically). Like I said in the video, I don't know if this is a real problem anyone has actually had.

theres filament dryers that will act as a cover, the sunlu ive got has kinda meh bearings or fitment of them, but it is also a dryer too... ive never used mine directly with the printer, we have the ender 3 style one in the video which is nice :)

Of the roll. If you find it over rotating. Can even add thrust bearing to set a preload to get the perfect amount of resistance.
