CR10 Snap Lock Extruder Sleeve for aluminum upgrade

thingiverse

I modified danbear's extruder locking arm to fit the aluminum upgrade kit for my CR-10 extruder, following the design found on thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2779130. This modification either requires a minor adjustment or cannot be printed with PLA as I initially thought it would work. Initially, it functioned properly after installation but now refuses to stay latched. To test its durability, I will print another one using ABS and see if it lasts longer. On 20180414, I uploaded the revised files which feature a more pronounced lip to securely grab onto the extruder. So far, it is working well. In addition to this modification, I approached the problem differently with my design found on thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2861682.
