prusaprinters

<p>Based on my X carriage <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:154258">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:154258</a></p> <p>I have redesigned the X carriage and extruder to suit E3D V6.</p> <p>For a while i have been limited in X axis travel by a combination of X carriage &amp; extruder ( stepper motor) so i have designed this to be as compact as possible. I also wanted to make it so that the extruder/ E3D could be removed easily with a quick release so i can swap between extruders 39/11 geared 3mm &amp; 1.75 mm direct drive.</p> <p>(Scroll to bottom for updates)</p> <p>This is the 3 mm version ( M8 hobbed bolt on 39:11 gear ratio) i plan to adapt/redesign the extruder to a 1.75 mm filament direct drive in the coming weeks ( once this has proven to be OK ...work in progress)</p> <p>Thanks to bettak at Grabcad for the hotend <a href="https://grabcad.com/library/e3d-all-metal-hotend-v6-1">https://grabcad.com/library/e3d-all-metal-hotend-v6-1</a></p> <p>&amp;</p> <p>Anthony Tripper for the herringbone gears <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:400456/">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:400456/#files</a></p> <p>If all works as planned ill do a hardware list / exploded view</p> <p>If you like this thing ...hit the button</p> <p>Updates:-</p> <p>Feb 6th . Added notch in extruder body to help with cable routing.</p> <blockquote> <p>Extruder body V2 R2.2.stl ( see jpeg image)</p> <p>Left original V2 R2.stl if you dont need / want this</p> </blockquote> <p>Feb 12th&gt; added direct drive extruder for 1.75 filament . Based on Mk8 hobbed drive bush</p> <p>March 6th &gt; minor changes to the extruder body to make for easier post print clean up. Now version V2 R2.5</p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
