1.75MM filliament Wade's Reloaded Extended height Hexagon Mount Extruder

thingiverse

This is an upgraded 1.75mm fillament variant of DiscoJohn's Taller Extruder Mount. It's designed to secure tightly to the upper mounting bolt of a Taz 3d printer, and requires a hexagon hotend. The Idler latch and Extruder Spacer are not my work, but I'm including them for your convenience. Why do you need a taller extruder mount? Why add extra plastic weight? The reason is straightforward: by extending the extruder body up to the upper bolt hole, you allow the extruder to connect directly into the carriage mount structure, eliminating front-to-back nozzle flex. Without this taller mount, a stock Taz toolhead can flex +/- 0.15mm forward or backward, particularly on corners when the extruded plastic drags on the part during a vector change. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.5mm nozzle Infill: 85% or better Notes: It's an extruder body, so ABS or higher temperature material is recommended. Pre-generated built-in support is included. Post-Printing Instructions Print as normal, remove the built-in support from the bearing pocket and the idler arm, install Extruder hardware as usual. You will need a longer bolt to replace the stock M3 extruder mount bolt (50mm long M3). I usually glue the extruder spacer to the extruder body for convenience in mounting.
