Description

I have a small business with my Anet A8 and I have to change filament a lot. The thumb screw that comes up as a button for releasing the filament from the feeder was destroying my thumb. I got fed up with it, so I made this to be able to hold the button down longer than 10 second intervals.

Print Settings

Printer:

Anet A8

Rafts:

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

No

Resolution:

0.3 mm

Infill:

30%


Notes:

I printed it with the hole side down. It's a steep enough angle where supports aren't needed and the detail is best and most comfortable if you keep the thumb indent at the top.
These are the settings that I did it at, although this is such a simple part that I don't believe it really matters the settings.
