Drop in Paxtruder for MakerBot

cults3d

This design is a modification of the Paxtruder-0.2:\nhttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1125 \n\nMy idler wheel broke about 2 weeks ago, so I decided it was time to experiment with the Paxtruder design. I had planned on making this project over the weekend because I had plenty of acrylic and some 1/2\" thick acetal scrap to make a pusher, but unfortunately, I had to place an order from McMaster, which delayed completion until now.\n\nI wanted a quick replacement for my extruder hardware that could use as much of my current MakerBot components as possible. This design seems to fit the bill perfectly. You can easily use your existing dino mounts (both MK3 and MK4 designs should work) and extruder head hardware to attach this extruder, and you can also mount the extruder controller just like with the idler wheel based design.
