3D model description
/////Updates/////
10.02.2022 Added an input spool. It's almost all the way to the bottom so that prevents the plastic on it from unraveling completely. It can also be taken out of the holder for ease of putting new plastic on it.
06.02.2022 Added print instructions and plastic usage.
Happy to find out that this whole project only uses 437g of plastic. Also added Ender 3 controller board mount. Its meant to go under the main fan so it gets a lot of airflow.
03.02.2022 Added the Ender 3 LCD mount. Thanks to @jckz82 for the original design.
Also added bearings to the top guide spacers. Make the filament move easy and does not grind against the plastic.
31.01.2022 Upcycled my Monoprice select mini V2. reused its LCD and control board.
Made an LCD bracket that screws into the fan mount. It's printed without s on its side. It droops a little bit at the top but that part is not visible when the MPSM LCD is screwed on. If you need a different type of LCD bracket and control board mounting write in the comments and il design it if you are willing to test print it.
19.01.2022 Added Fan mount to the front of the machine. Planing on adding more extensions to make this a real filament extrusion line.

Thanks to @Sapienz for the original design. I remixed it to use more common hardware in the 3d printing world and also lowered the part count. Made some improvements to lower filament usage and the time it takes to print everything.
Also working on a custom UI for marlin and custom code for the whole process.
Will be here soon. My stepper driver died last night so I can't test out. Will order new ones soon. Video on the way soon.
