<h3><strong>Pestle Rotational Bowden</strong></h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3><strong>This extruder mounts on the X-gantry and is capable of rotating. &nbsp;This new mounting location cuts approximately 50% of your bowden length off, and also rotates to further take bend radius out of the PTFE pathing, the end result is a bowden length of -50-60% compared to traditional mounting solutions. &nbsp; Currently working on various brackets to adapt this system to many more printers from Enders to Prusa's devices.&nbsp;</strong><br><br><strong>EX: &nbsp;Ender 3 Bowden length will be under 200mm total distance.</strong><br><br><strong>For support or to follow the other projects, please join the Discord below or visit the Github.</strong></h3><h3><br><a href="https://discord.gg/aE49DW2xXe"><strong>https://discord.gg/aE49DW2xXe</strong></a></h3><h3><br><a href="https://github.com/Alchemical-3D/BETA_Pestle_Rotational_Bowden/blob/main/README.md">https://github.com/Alchemical-3D/BETA_Pestle_Rotational_Bowden/blob/main/README.md</a></h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Do not forget to share your makes!<br><br><strong>PRINT SETTINGS</strong></h3><p>Materials - ABS/ASA (Note: The parts are designed accounting for shrinkage of ASA &amp; ABS, other filament types may or may not work.)</p><p>Layer Height - 0.20</p><p>Extrusion Width - Forced 0.4m</p><p>Infil Percentage - 40%+</p><p>Infil Type - Grid, Honeycomb, Triangle, or Cubic</p><p>Top/Bottom Wall Count - 4</p><p>Perimeter Count - 4</p><h3><strong>B.O.M.</strong></h3><p>Note: I am working with suppliers to distribute individual qty purchases, this early in project though some of these are multipacks.</p><p>Note: This is the bare minimum, it is wise to have spare screws/heatsets etc.)</p><ol><li>QTY - 7 - <a href="https://kb-3d.com/store/inserts-fasteners-adhesives/278-brass-heat-set-threaded-insert-for-plastic-m3x5x4mm.html?affp=6182">M3x5x4 Heatsets</a> (Be sure to get angled exterior texture, not straight)</li><li>QTY - 2 - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QX5ZW8Y?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details">Thrust Bearing 5mm ID</a></li><li>QTY - 1 - M3x16 SHCS (Socket Head Cap Screw)</li><li>QTY - 1 - M3x20 SHCS (Socket Head Cap Screw)</li><li>QTY - 2 - M3x30 SHCS (Socket Head Cap Screw)</li><li>QTY - 2 - M3x35 SHCS (Socket Head Cap Screw)</li><li>QTY - 3 - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092ZGBC1M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">PC4-M6 Bowden Connector</a></li><li>QTY - 1 - <a href="https://kb-3d.com/store/bondtech/484-bondtech-bmg-extruder-internals-kit-build-your-own-1645151327973.html?affp=6182">BondTech BMG Extruder Internals Kit</a> (Some clones have the correct components for this build internally)</li><li>QTY - 1 - <a href="https://kb-3d.com/store/stepper-motors/460-ldo-nema-14-high-temp-stepper-motor-36sth20-1004ahg-1640706867164.html?affp=6182">Nema 14 High Temp Stepper Motor</a></li></ol><p>Highly Recommended Items Below</p><ol><li>QTY - 1 - Threadlocker (Loctite Blue or similar strength, its important to note that threadlockers WILL damage ASA/ABS if they come in contact, take care when applying thread lockers that it only gets on the metal assembly.)</li></ol>
