Trying to adapt this excellent extruder from eMotiontech Rework 1.5 to a Geeetech Prusa i3 requires some modification: For now, I've expanded the body of the extruder to give more room for any j-head/E3D hotend or its clones. The fan arm has been converted from 30mm to 40mm and the part known as the "wall" has been strengthened for a better hold on the x-carriage. Everyone involved: Find a way to make space for drive gears of various sizes. To do this: NOTES: A beta tester is needed to print and test the V2 update of this thing, since there might be enough room for an MK8 drive gear by moving the Nema 17 mounting points. Report success or failure in comments here, please. PS: I am not the creator of this object - it was merely modified for my own use.

Instructions Attempting to adapt a well-made extruder from eMotionTech Rework 1.5 for a Geeetech Prusa i3. For the time being, I've changed the body of the extruder to allow more room for various j-head/E3D hotends. The 30mm fan arm has been altered to be 40mm in size. Additionally, the part called "wall" that attaches to the x-carriage was reinforced. Now is the difficult part: incorporating an MK8 drive gear (or similar ones with approximate sizes) into this setup. It's being worked on right now.
