Flashforge Dreamer (NX) - Re-Printing 1kg Reel Side Loader Arms and Rod After They Cracked
In this video I redesign the side loader arms I'm using for holding 1kg reels with the Flashforge Dreamer NX.
The original design had a flaw with a very thin area (the hook) where the maximum stress occurs. This caused the hook to crack and fail.
I also reprint the Rod that holds the reels since that also cracked when it was dropped on the floor by accident.
Both the arms and rod are printed in PETG which is more resilient than PLA and just as strong as the original ABS they were printed in.
