So I’ve been busy designing things and printing prototypes and here’s another one I just finished and published. It’s the E3D V6 on the MP Select Mini. This fan duct allows you to easily switch between fan and no fan just by removing a divider. I liked the oem version that someone else created but there wasn’t anything like it for the e3d v6 when I upgraded to it so I just had to make my own.

So one of the great things about the Monoprice MP Select Mini is the fact that it’s easily upgradeable and you can just print all of the parts on the printer itself. So I’ve got a collection of them in this post, some are still in use and some aren’t anymore as I’ve found better or upgraded to a metal part actually.
Here’s another of my designs, it’s a filament guide and cleaner for the Monoprice MP Select Mini 3D printer. I liked the idea of a filament guide and like the cleaner but there wasn’t a combo so I created one. I’ve actually re-did this and will be posted the revision shortly.

So there are a lot of replacement controller knobs out there for the MP Select Mini and I tried many of them but none of them were what I wanted personally. Sure they worked fine, but I wanted something that kept the original knob top and could still be used with the bed over top of it and one that made spinning the knob easier like for moving the axis or activating the extruder and I wanted something taller as well as I found it just makes using the knob easier.
I really like the open honeycomb design of this spinner…
This one is called planetary gears I believe, found it over on Thingiverse and it does work well and looks neat.
Here’s another Biohazard spinner fidget, but this one didn’t work out well. The bearings just fall out and I found out you need to glue them in, I don’t like the idea of gluing them in. The creator of the spinner actually says you need to glue them in place, nope, I like being able to remove them. It is a nice looking spinner though.
