Rising Nozzle Holder

prusaprinters

<h3><strong>Description</strong></h3><p>This is a simple nozzle case/holder suitable for 10 nozzles. Simply rotate the hex at the bottom of the case and the nozzles will to rise up similar to a lipstick or a stick of deodorant. Depending on the quality of your print the operation may be a bit rough, however the abrasiveness of the filament will will smooth out the motion very quickly after only a few rotations.</p><p>Print was designed with volcano nozzles in mind however standard nozzles should also fit without issue.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Print Instructions</strong></h3><p>My standard quick print settings worked fairly well for all components. These print settings are:</p><ul><li>0.2mm layer height.</li><li>3 perimeters minimum.</li><li>Minimum 3 top/bottom layers.</li><li>Printable without the need for supports.</li></ul><h3><strong>Assembly</strong></h3><p>Basic assembly can be determined from the exploded view in the photos.</p><ul><li>Once all components are printed, screw the ‘holder’ onto the ‘screw’ 4 or 5 rotations.</li><li>There is a rounded keyway connection between the ‘holder’ and the ‘housing’.</li><li>Line these keyways up and insert the ‘holder’ into the ‘housing’.</li><li>The ‘housing’ will lock into the ‘screw’ using the small tabs printed on the ‘screw’ component.</li></ul><p><i><strong>Note:</strong> The connection is tight enough that it will stay in place but loose enough to allow rotation of the component and can be pulled apart with a small amount of force if the case needs to be disassembled.</i></p><ul><li>Rotate the hex head of the screw to actuate the case up and down.</li><li>The components are modeled with LH threads so that the rotation of the hex feels ‘natural’ for the rising action.</li></ul><h3><strong>Attribution</strong></h3><p>Please print and re-mix this model as much as you want. Please do not use this model for commercial use.</p>
