Inverted Tom's guided Greg's accessible hinged Wade's geared extruder

thingiverse

The original Wade's extruder for Mendel90 is outdated, so I modified it to resemble my Prusa's extruder, albeit with the extruder pointing in the wrong direction (limiting X movement). The design was created using 3ds Max but doesn't slice perfectly due to my lack of OpenSCAD knowledge. However, it prints well and functions as intended, although the guide part may require adjustment (which I usually remove anyway). It is also compatible with J-head and similar setups, featuring a large hole at the bottom. To use this extruder, print it alongside the idler, insert bearings in the large holes, followed by the hobbed bolt with gear through the bearing - similar to any other Wade's extruder setup. For the idler and gears, you can refer to this Thingiverse link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8252 or explore various derivatives available online.
