3D model description

I wanted to use Carl's Alu block with the stock Flashforge Creator X extruder set up so I made a set of spacers to get the filament to line up with the thermal barrier.

This is the part I'm referring to:

The other option is to print or purchase a feeder for the makerbots but for now this is my solution. I am still deciding on what to do about the feeder. I might just spring for the 3in1 machined feeder since it is very popular.

3D printing settings

Simple to print. Just use 100% infill and 1 shell. I used .2 layer height for my spacers but these pieces are pretty thin so it might be better to print the 1mm and sand it down.

I ended up using 1 x 1mm and 1x .5mm spacer combo for my set up.

You will need a longer screw to accommodate the spacer. I am using this one: http://www.mcmaster.com/#91294a126/=rlve60

The other option is to countersink the screw holes in the mount to get a longer reach but new screws are cheap and you won't have to modify anything.
