FLEX BOWDEN DIRECT EXTRUDER FOR MK8

thingiverse

I was searching for an FLEX direct extruder because changing filament is easier with it, but couldn't find any to fit my MK8 feed gear (9mm diameter ext x 5mm diameter int), so I designed one myself. There are three printed parts: a separator, body, and idler. You'll need to look at the explosion file for all the other parts you require. The body has a funnel that helps guide the filament from side to side when pushing through holes are misaligned while pressing the extruder. Layer: 0.2mm Infill: 50% UPGRADE: I added a new separator with support for fixing it in place. Although this one is slightly wider than the original, the listed M3x12 threads are still strong enough to hold the motor in place. Don't forget to share your results when you make it!
