After trying rwmechs design. There were a number of changes i wanted.
1. The rubber band technique for friction was not working at all for me.
2. The wheel design did not put the bearing support over where the filament friction was
3. The sensor he used was not as common today
4. The bearing capture and riding surfaces did not work well to center and support the bearing causing the wheel to wobble
5. Filament loaded was a pain as the filament was not supported well passing through the device
So the major change was to use orings as the friction for the filament. The filament rides on top of 2 orings that are next to each other providing a perfect v groove for the filament to run in. Minimal pressure and maximum friction. AND as a bonus, the filament loads perfectly as the v groove created by the 2 orings keeps the filament perfectly centered to capture the exit hole when loading.
Ive included the freecad file, and step
What you will need.
