Topic: SD3 Wire Sleeve Placement

techmik posted this pic in the irc chatroom while talking about his filament coming over the frame in his SD3.

It looks like Solidoodle moved the wire sleeve to the middle filament hole to keep it from rubbing against the Y belt.  Which seemingly solves that issue but takes away that was used for miscellaneous mods such as the filament cleaners and guides.  Is this hole still workable for the filament? My filament bends downward sometime and I wonder if it will ever get caught around the sleeve.

Re: SD3 Wire Sleeve Placement

I think since they did away with the case they don't worry about the filament going through the hole anymore.  You couldn't use my threaded filament guided and cleaner anymore, but you could use the concept but put a flange off to the side so you can put a couple screws through the frame to hold it in place.

Re: SD3 Wire Sleeve Placement

It does not solve it on mine, they were still hitting the belt when the extruder is pushed into the back left.
