FLSUN Q5/QQ Bowden Pivoting Extruder Side Mount

thingiverse

Due to high stringing on my FLSU Q5, which is a side effect of the bowden tube length, I have tried numerous ways oF reducing it's length as much as possible. As such, I have brought the extruder as close as I could to the print head without adding additional weight to the arms or the actual effector (like adding a flying extruder or a direct drive) or interfering with it's movement all while being free to pivot. At this moment the tube length is 300 mm but can be reduced with a bit of cable management without reducing print/bed maximum dimensions. Another advantage is that on the other side of the 2020 inserted profile I have decided to add a webcam for the Octoprint that has full view over the bed. BOM: - 1pc x 2020 Extrusion Bar - 200mm for only the Extruder or at least 250 for the extruder + webcam - 3pc x 688ZZ (8x16x5 mm) bearings - 1pc 8x40mm Sinkhead screw and matching nut - 1pc x 8x10x5 mm spacer - you can print that - 6-8pcs 4x12mm T-nutsand and screws to mount each piece to the printer or eachother, depends if it is press fitted enough or it requires a nut - 2pcs 4x16mm T-nuts and screws to mount the assembly to one of printer posts.
