MK8 extruder carriage with 3D Touch bracket (CTC Prusa i3 DIY Cl

pinshape

Summary This upgrade allows the use of a MK8 extruder as shown in pictures available on eBay for £19.95. The only modification required is reversing the middle 2 wires to the stepper motor. The print head sits approximately 1.5 cm left of its original location, resulting in a larger print area compared to the original. A bracket was incorporated into the design to accommodate a bed leveling sensor, as the CTC Prusa i3 DIY does not have space for this component. This upgrade necessitates a firmware update for the 3D Touch to function properly, which is not recommended by CTC. Print Settings Printer: CTC Prusa i3 DIY Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: Fine Infill: 30% Notes: PLA was used for printing, although PETG may be a more suitable choice.
