MK8e3dv6 DIRECT

thingiverse

Estrusore Direct is a versatile printer modification that combines the best features of an MK8 and an E3DV6. It's perfect for blind filament insertion and printing TPU, thanks to its compact design and robust gear train powered by a 12mm Hobbed extruder. The addition of a 624zz bearing further enhances the printer's performance. The Extruder Direct is also available in a Bowden configuration, making it easy to install on your existing printer. To create the lever, I designed and printed two separate parts that are rigid due to their flat surface design. After some light sanding and cleaning with alcohol, the parts easily bond together using a small amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive. Once assembled, the lever is very sturdy. A M5 screw serves as a shaft for the bearing, while a short piece of PTFE tubing inserted into the upper hole makes it easy to insert the filament. This extruder also allows you to use this cooling system. I highly recommend using the specified gear and bearing combination for optimal performance. The measurements are tailored to the specific hardware mentioned above. As an optional addition, you can install this lever modification with bearings.
