Modular wades extruder - fully enclosed filament

thingiverse

If this design has helped improve your printer and you appreciate the time I spent creating it without testing or prototyping, consider showing your appreciation by tipping me. I invested over 100 hours in designing this, and I'd love your support. Printing service ================ Want me to print this for you? My printing service is available here: [Marianne T](https://www.treatstock.com/c/miranio-printing/3d-printing-service) KIT ================ If you need help assembling a kit, just let me know. I can work out the price and send it to you. Why this design was created ========================== I wasn't satisfied with existing designs that didn't securely hold filament. So, I designed my own belt tensioner to ensure buckling is impossible and the filament is always secure. This design is also modular, making it easy to remove without tools. What you'll need to buy ------------------------- * 2 - bed leveling springs * 2 - 45mm M3 bolts * 3 - 608 bearings * 1 - hobbed bolt * 1 - nut for your hobbed bolt * 1 - M4 screw size quick connect for your bowden tube * some bowden tube for 1.75mm filament You'll need to print ------------------- The gear set in this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:961630 or a similar gear with the same dimensions. You'll need to choose -------------------- Place the extruder behind the LCD or on the corner, as shown in the picture. If you have a roll support for your Anet, place it behind the LCD for optimal results. You'll need to build it up ------------------------- The initial screwing of the quick coupling may be difficult, but that's what you want – a secure fit. The 608 bearing fit is also tight, which is perfect. Insert some bowden tube on the other side of the core where the filament enters to guide it toward the extruder. IMPORTANT: Check the correct orientation for printing each part in the pictures. Unfortunately, my computer recently died due to a faulty EVGA component, and I'm stuck using an old Dell laptop. I won't be able to create any CAD files or turn the parts into STLs until I get a new computer. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. I'm confident that everything is included, so don't hesitate to ask for clarification. Finally: Be happy! ------------------- It's essential to enjoy the process of creating and printing – it's a waste of time not to appreciate it!
