Discord Support

Please do not send me direct messages here, I have notifications turned off as I get so many requests here and elsewhere so it's possible I miss your message. Instead, please join our Discord server for suggestions and technical support. Thanks!

If you need any help with the build or want to leave feedback you can join us on Discord:

• Discord - Python Mod Support

Our server is named “QIDI Tech 3D Printers” so don't get confused when you join as it was initially setup for that brand of printers but we've expanded it to other brands and 3D printing in general as well as channels for some of my mods, it's where I generally hang out.

Welcome!

About

This is a remix of the current Mega Python (1.02) that allows up to 5 Kg spools to be used. The sections are 40 mm wider than the normal Mega Python and it uses taller threaded rods and drive gear sleeves as well as front roller holders. 

The other printed parts are identical between the designs and you can indeed mix and match the normal Mega Python and Mega Python (5 Kg Remix) sections. You can tell which parts are remixed as they have the mega-python-5kg prefix in the file names.

It supports spools up to 5 Kg with a maximum diameter of 310 mm and width of 160 mm, useful for print farms and for others who like to use larger spools. It's a bit more advanced as it uses more gears and bearings and involves extending the feeder cables but more on that later.

It also supports smaller spools of course, even tiny 250 g sample spools, same as normal Python.
