Description

This is a modified version of the Spacer C from the Self Feeding Open Source Filament Pelletizer by Teaching Tech, at https://www.printables.com/model/672486-self-feeding-open-source-filament-pelletizer I blew up my pelletizer attempting to reprocess some very flexible filament, when it wrapped around the feed gear and jammed it up while the drill kept running. This version of Spacer C removes most of the clearance from around the gear to avoid filament wraparound. I exported the STEP from the following URL and edited it with FreeCAD: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d620c733b222a6028cd1baa1/w/b280ca1825707eef1b27f3a6/e/41d5be97158b9c62badaa66f?renderMode=0&uiState=65715167b4b76e4267fbb069 Make sure to reorient the part so the flat with the window opening is facing the build plate. For pelletizing flexible filament, use in conjunction with the "Dime mod" at https://www.printables.com/model/753269-dime-mod-bigger and ensure both your router bit is sharp and you have as little clearance as possible on the filed down dime.
