Bowden Deflector

thingiverse

Update 25.06.2016: I uploaded a new version for users who did the ball-joint upgrade, including modifications to position the pins correctly. The original problem with the bowden tube persists even after upgrading to a newer model of SeeMeCNC's Orion Delta printer, but adding this new version solves the issue completely. When I printed large objects that used all the available area on my printer, the bowden tube got stuck on top of the rear carriage. To fix this problem, I designed and created a deflector attached to the right arm of the rear carriage, preventing any further jams during long prints like one-hour prints at 0.2mm layers. The updated design includes a rounded bed that fits perfectly with the carriage, ensuring precise prints every time. Also, I opened up the cable tie holder for easier attachment of ties that secure wires in place. Printer Settings: - Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC - Printer: Orion Delta 3D Printer - Rafts: No - Supports: No - Resolution: 0.2mm - Infill: 20% Important Notes: Users need to make sure the bowden tube isn't stuck during prints (approximately one hour at 0.2mm layers). If jamming occurs, users should correct it right away before proceeding. Assembly Instructions: First, position the bolts in the upper triangles and use a small cable tie to secure the deflector in its place.
