Description
This is a piece that I designed for the Bambu Labs spool winder uploaded by @MiklosKiszely (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5879332). This piece is designed to fix 2 problems I ran into with the spool winder. First, the rods that turn the worm gear that turns the filament guide that goes back and forth, even when glued to the worm gear would flex the worm gear causing it to slip and lose steps on the spur gear that operates the filament guide. The other problem was that the spur gear would occasionally lift slightly causing the half gear to rise up and hit the guide tube as it moves back and forth which would also cause it to bind and lose steps. This piece will grab the rods on either side of the worm gear to hold it against the spur gear so it doesn't lose steps. It then attaches to the rod that meshes the spur gear to the upper half gear and is tall enough to prevent the spur gear assembly from slipping up and causing the half gear to hit the guide tube.
EDIT: I don't watch the assembly video when I put mine together. This piece will replace the tall washer that goes between the spur gear and the plate that the guide tube assembly slides on.
