<p>Designed and printed an adapter for extruder adapter for my Anycubic Vyper 3D Printer.</p><p>This printer was modified from a Bowden Tube filament system to a Direct Drive system.</p><p>The extruder was moved from the side of the machine to the top of the hotend assembly (where the filament gets heated and pushed out of the nozzle.</p><p>To do this modification the extruder runs the filament in reverse through the extruder.&nbsp; As Price sang in a purple beret, in through the outdoor, out through the indoor.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The adapter for the extruder to attach to the printhead assembly base plate, was designed ok, but not great, so I will be using CAD programs to redesign it,&nbsp; it currently flexes a bit, and looks, pedestrian.&nbsp;</p><p>So this is step one in the process of designing a stronger, and more intimate connection to the hotend.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Designed the adapter was designed in an online CAD application called Onshape (onshape.com), a free hobby account.</p><p>Sliced with Cura slicer free. I think it is the best slicer I have used so far.</p><p>Printed in with a black PLA.</p><p>The original extruder adapter: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5110857</p><p><br><br>&nbsp;</p>
