Summary
This is a filament spool holder with optical speed pick-up that can rest on any flat surface or be attached to the back of a Flashforge Creator Pro with the included back plate adapter. I wanted an upgrade to hold more than the spools that came with my creator pro, and took it a little far. :)
As much as possible I have used common parts available at most hardware stores.
Source code for the spool speed detection is in progress.
Instructions
These .STL's are for the left hand side, I need to mirror this setup and create the right side.
The speed sensor code is still a work in progress, it will be arduino based and hope to have it also interface with sailfish for jam/issue detection. At the very least it will text/email/call/page/send a pigeon, something when it senses and issue.
The Speed sensor it self is based off this sensor
Or Alternatively
The bearings are from Lowes
You will also need some rubber o-rings to place in the bearing so the spool has traction.
All Thread1/4-20 for the bearing shafts.
