Greg`s Wade Universal Reloaded Edition !

thingiverse

Update your Wade design and use uni-X Wade instead (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25416). The creator has designed it to fit nearly all mounting plates and hotends, with insert hole dimensions of d=16.7mm and height = 20mm. It's compatible with 3mm ABS/PLA filament, but for 1.75mm material, add a brass tube (d=2.1mm, D=3mm) between the hobbed bolt and hotend. The inserts have dimensions of d=16.4mm and height = 19.9mm. If you find any incorrect dimensions or weak points, please report them for improvement. The designer has recently uploaded a V2 version on May 13, 2012, with fixes such as holes for Orca v0.40 X-Carrier, a small bridge to the idler holder part for easier printing, and countersunk holes for insert screws. Tested successfully on Orca V 0.40. For printing instructions, simply print the whole Wade and the chosen insert, and refer to the mounting holes for compatibility with Std Mendel/Prusa (50mm), Orca V 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40 (will not fit v42 as it has a built-in geared extruder). Additionally, if you want to add a cooling fan on Orca v.040, print the Wade straight for an additional hole at the carrier plate. Compatible hotends include all with groove mount, J-Head (d=16.7mm, h=10mm), Reprapfab/Geeksbase V1 (with d=10mm, h=20mm - do not use standard screws; use a small iron insert or square thread instead), Mendel-Parts V6/V9/V10, Arcol.hu V2/V3/V4, and hotends with 30mm screws (distance). Essentially, this design should fit most hotends using the same dimensions.
