Reprappro Huxley Extruder Groovemount M6

thingiverse

The unconventional pin in the Reprap Huxley design, which secures the Bowden tube, was not my preferred component to work with, especially during disassembly. As Bowden tubes require frequent maintenance, I found the process of disassembling and reassembling the extruder end of the Bowden tube challenging. After contemplating ways to enhance this aspect of the design, I considered various subpar ideas before realizing that my groove mount extruder on my full-sized Prusa could serve as inspiration. To improve the Huxley's Bowden tube retention, I adopted an approach similar to a special Wades body, utilizing M3 holes and screws to retain the hot end within the Wades body itself (similar to designs like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:27054). This design effectively borrowed from the original concept while addressing my concerns with the Huxley's Bowden tube retention method.
