Piper3dGW extruder

thingiverse

I'm a big fan of the GW extruder and have identified ways to enhance it. In fact, all of my current Piper printers (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2794632) are running on this version or AJGW extruders. The issues I've tried to fix are: E3D hotend is mounted on 2 screws and moves after some use; closing filament clamp may jam filament. I've added a new fast release, which works better for me opens and closes easier. Included mounts for Bowden tube and for E3D hotend. The Autocad Fusion 360 project can be found at: https://a360.co/2Iu8v5x or downloaded as part of all files. The Autocad assembly contains components from McMaster webpage, E3D from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:341689 , and I don't remember the source of NEMA 17 component. Check out the quick release in action at https://youtu.be/Ad7Fl6Ia978 As noted by Alain idler mount, which I call "filament compressor" may need to be printed on a side. You can also check my website https://piper3dprinter.com for other things I do.
