BCN3D+ Bowden Extruder (01 serial number printers)

thingiverse

This is an update for Altrome's bowden extruder specifically designed for the BCN3D+. The designer's original bowden method proves effective, but recent changes to the printer after November 2014 necessitate a modified support structure. For all newer printers with serial numbers starting in 01, the Altrome design will not fit seamlessly into the extruder body. Fortunately, this revised support is compatible with later BCN3D+ machines, allowing users to maintain Altrome's couplers while opting for different fittings. To adapt large 1/4" nuts used here, a custom coupler has been created and included in the package. To securely attach this support on the printer's side, two DIN912 M5x20mm screws accompanied by washers are required. When attaching the extruder to the new support structure, three DIN912 M3x12mm screws along with their respective washers are necessary. Three additional DIN934 M3 nuts complete the installation. In terms of couplers, six DIN912 M3x12mm screws paired with six DIN934 M3 nuts will be needed. For the bowden system itself, a 60-70 cm length of PTFE (Teflon) tube along with two straight adapters are required for successful operation.
