Alu-Extruder Bowden Rail Mount

thingiverse

This custom extruder mount fits snugly onto the Alu-Extruder designed by Printrbot and can be easily secured to an earlier rail design that spans across the top of the printrbot plus using 2-4 M3 screws, along with a single #6-32 screw and its corresponding nut. Although I didn't take the time to tap a hole for the bowden connector initially, it is still functional as it is. Nevertheless, I do plan on revisiting this part of the design and adding threads using some glue so that the connector stays in place securely. In order to optimize performance, I intend to modify the extruder's orientation by turning it sideways. This should improve feed filament flow from back towards the front of the printer, allowing for more efficient printing results. As for now, I've left this mount unfinished as a "thing in progress" and am open to further modifications once the required components are added, such as tapping a hole for the bowden connector and installing necessary glue to keep everything secure.
