Mike Kelly's Dual Bowden E3Dv5 RoBo 3D X Carriage Mod

cults3d

Note: this version is old and out of date. It will require additional work to use with the E3Dv6. Use my modular carriage instead What this is: Converts the stock RoBo 3D printer with a single direct feed extruder and replaces it with dual bowden extruder with no loss in x travel. This is just the x-carriage as the cold end will be released separately Background: I have designed and fabricated, with the help of tessarect, a dual extruder upgrade to the RoBo 3D printer. As many RoBo 3D owners make the upgrade to a E3D all metal hot end, it makes sense that instead of going from stock hot end to kraken, many users will want to go stock hot end > single E3D > dual E3D to save cost on parts. With that in mind this mod is directed at the latter group of people. If you are on the stock robo 3d hot end and want to upgrade to multi-extruders, I HIGHLY recommend not doing this mod but rather wait for me to release the kraken version. The kraken is smaller, lighter weight, easier to adjust, and provides more options later on. This mod is just inteded for people with an existing E3D looking to add a second.
