MK2s - MK3 Hybrid Extruder/X-Carriage
thingiverse
I really liked the new MK3 extruder head so much that I decided to reverse engineer it and the x-carriage assembly to make them fit perfectly on my MK2/MK2s. My main goal was to achieve a clean mounting of the Noctua fan and the new nozzle blower. Things I changed from the MK3 assembly: 1) I moved the motor mounting screws over a bit to accommodate my existing filament driver. 2) I created holes to mount the idler and made space for it, requiring some modifications to fit properly inside the new extruder body. 3) I had to make quite a few changes on the x-carriage to get it working with my existing wires and end stop. I removed some parts and added holes for zip ties. I didn't want to use the back plate because it was easier to just eliminate it. Honestly, it's unnecessary to create an extra piece just to hold your wires up in the air neatly... 4) I expanded the PINDA probe hole to fit my MK2s probe. 5) I removed the filament sensor mounting. 6) I modified a bunch of other small things along the way to make the whole thing work. EDIT1: I updated the idler, realizing I forgot to cut the hole all the way through initially. EDIT2: I updated the x-carriage to fit with my MK3 x-carriage cover. This improved cable management greatly, and I take back what I said earlier. EDIT3: I added all the required files. EDIT4: I added STEP files for everyone's convenience.
