Printrbot LC+ Quickfit Z-Mount - Bowden extruder

thingiverse

To create a Bowden Extruder setup for Printerbot LC+, mount an extruder across both Z bars using quickfit attachment for easy access. A Bowden Extruder is designed to reduce X-carriage weight, resulting in less vibration, quieter and more accurate prints. For the setup, use PTFE tubing (select diameter based on filament thickness), printed parts (ABS @0.7 infill), pneumatic fittings, 6-32 nuts, bolts, and a long bolt for quickfit latch. Follow exploded diagram for part arrangement; rectangular holes accommodate nuts snugly. Replace the TDEAGEN hot end mount with a quickfit option for easy swapping. Initial tests showed plastic oozing from Bowden extruder, which may be resolved by using 1.75mm filament instead of 3mm. The X-carriage mount print also exhibits wobble, indicating room for hotend redesign. Improve the wiring organization to avoid clutter in the housing.
