Hunchback Bowden Extruder
youmagine
See how I am going to integrate the HunchBack Bowden Extruder into my WIP 3D printer design on Sketchfab: https://skfb.ly/LPP7. I require an extruder that meets specific requirements: has a wider base and will likely fasten under the motor due to space constraints; utilizes all four bolts to secure it in place; grips the filament close to the motor, alleviating lateral stress on the bearing; allows easy access to the Idler arm without unscrewing; is optimized for top-down positioning with the bowden tube arching at 45 degrees. This design is still in development, but I'm placing it online to gather comments and suggestions. Additional details about this extruder include: printing vertically is feasible, although concerns arise from rotational forces exerted by the motor, which may delaminate layers; a retaining M5 nut is located at the push-fit fitting, with limited space for insertion; the Idler is heavy due to providing support for the bearing shaft/bolt closest to the motor; uneven forces led to Idlers breaking in the original design, prompting an update.
