Extruder for Prusa i3

thingiverse

Hello! I created this thing because I didn't have enough power in my extruder motor. When I increased the printing speed to 40mm/s, it started skipping steps. My Prusa i3 printer came with a standard extruder motor and gear on the shaft. To avoid buying new parts, I decided to use some of them instead. If needed, putting everything back together won't be hard. To build this thing you'll need: Bearings 10x3x4 - 4 pieces Bearings 16x5x5 - 2 pieces M3x16 screws - 4 pieces M3x25 screws - 2 pieces 1 M5x40 bolt 1 M5x60 bolt (Grover and washers are not necessary, but I added them) I used a spring from an old mechanism to press the wires into place. Thanks for paying attention!
