Description

Holder made to fit right side of the printer.

This is a mounting bracket for the Sunlu S2 filament dryer. It is compatible with use of a poop bucket on the back side. Its stable with its support legs and has good clearance for the power cable. The dryer can be secured to the bracket by replacing two externally mounted screws of the dryer and mounting new longer ones through the holding tray. The legs are printed seperatly and slided into place.

1, Print and remove supports. Take extra care scraping and clearing the tracks for the legs interface. Support in the screw holes can be punched out from the sop side afterwards

2, Remove the two visible screws from the bottom of the dryer

3, Fasten the dryer through the tray screw holes from below with 2 pcs #6 x 3/4” metal screws or 4x25mm ones.

4, Tap the legs in place with some mechanical empathy (tight fit intentional)

5, Release AMS cable and existing stock spool holder if mounted

6, Fit the power cable to the filament dryer.

7, Fasten the bracket using the same mouning holes as for the filament buffer but using at least 4 mm longer screw and the other matching hole for the rear panel also with a longer screw. (I dont recommend to dremmel out material to make stock screws fit. There will be very little material left then and might be a risk over time)

8, Reconnect the AMS cably through the bracket hole

9, Fit a long PTFE tube through one of the top holes in the dryer lid and route it to your Y splitter or direct feed to the printer. I preferr using the rear facing hole because it provides a smooth bending route to the printer. Route it smoothly throught the printed bracket over the filament buffer. Make sure it is long enought to open the dryer lid without removing the tube.

My PTFE tube has an outer diameter of 4.23mm and it makes a perfect smooth fit of the tube through the small rubber bushing in the filament hole of the dryer lid. Some qualities of tubes have small OD, about 4 mm. If this is the case one might try 2 turns of tape around the tube where it enters the dryer to increase the tube diamteer or exchange the PTFE tube for a qulaity with better fit.

It is of course possible to add extra stabillity applying thin foamed double sided tape to the interface between the holder bracket and the printer panel. I preferr 3M VHB tapes with any thickness below 1mm. It will be mega strong and if one needs to remove it it wont separate having to scrape clean both sides

Feature releases might get small markings where to put strips.

Thanks to those who download and provide feedback.

@Chanaiden907

is this compatible with the ams hub

The designer has replied

@Malkus

I use it with the filament buffer for one ams. if using several ams and the hub, test print that smaller piece at the back end test fit. please provide feedback. if it dies not fit provide as much info you can and I will try to uodate the design to make it fit

@Chanaiden907

Replying to @Malkus :

the mount doesn’t fit the ams hub, as you can see in the picture the hub is much larger than the buffer

@Chanaiden907

Replying to @Malkus :

the dimensions of the ams hub go as follows 60x 130 mm and the part with the fittings has a radius of 10 mm

Printed for and on P1S using 3D-Fuel Pro PLA. Make sure to use the brims, I didn't and got minor warping. I can't find my VHB tape so I hot-glued it on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hardware: - (1) M3x30 for the AMS buffer screw - (1) M3x10 for the printer case screw - (2) M3x20 for fastening drier to stand - (2) M3 Heat-set insert for the drier base (optional)

@panchojestem

so... it will work for P1P also, yes?

@Malkus

Sorry, I dont know but if someone tries please advice!

Printed this out with the 5% infill profile you have just to test on my P1S. Obviously the print comes out very thin because of the infill so I wouldn't recommend anyone actually using the 5% infill other than to test fit. Summary: The design seems to fit but people should take note of the required screws and make sure they have what's needs for printing. Issues: • Step 3 lists a 4x25mm screw for attaching the dryer to the base. I've got a SUNLU FilaDryer S2 and found a 4x25mm to be to long and leave to much play between the base and the dryer. 4x16mm fit perfectly and created a nice and snug fit. • Step 7 (Case Screw) doesn't list a screw size. My screw kit jumps from M3x8 to M3x12 (both of which were respectively too long or too short) and neither would work. I'm betting that a M3x10 would work for mounting to the removed case screw. • Step 7 (AMS Hub Screw) I wasn't able to test fitment for the AMS Hub Screw. M3x16 is the longest I have for M3 and it was too short. M3 is the correct sizing but will most likely take something longer to fit. Overall I think the design works fine but anyone printing should take notes on having the correct hardware on hand for install. I'll have to reprint this with a higher infill and order additional hardware and see how it fits after. May be worth adding additional information for screw sizes for the print description.

I have some M3x25 screws and they were too short. I'm ordering a set that has M3x4 up to M3x30 so I hope to make this work.

perfect print!! ~~do note right now it is not compatible with the AMS hub, however the author has said he is working on it. Since I have the AMS hub, I have put this at 4 starts until the AMS hub compatibility is released~~ The AMS Hub print is avaible on the creators Profile

Definitely a strength issue going this minimal. Things started creaking the moment I started assembling and removing supports. If I print this again I'll go with a stronger profile.
