Makerfarm i3v EZ load extruder

thingiverse

This extruder is a customized version of Greg's Accessible Extruder that came pre-installed on my Makerfarm i3v 10" printer. I created it to make loading and unloading filament much easier, and also compatible with delicate materials like wax or Ninjaflex. It has more adjustment options in the drive motor section and utilizes all the original hardware components. The trapped nuts have been improved so they don't spin freely while tightening or loosening bolts - however, you might need to file them slightly to get a proper fit depending on your print quality settings. It's incredibly simple to load and unload filament with this extruder. Just bring the hot end up to temperature, then disengage the idler with one hand and gently pull or push the filament with the other.
