<p>Sailfin-Extruder (MM remix for Flying Bear Ghost 5)</p><p>I decided to switch to direct drive extruder and found a impressive Sailfin design. It is compact, lightweight, requires minimum extra parts and gives excellent printing results. Original design and extra information may be found in <a href="https://github.com/CroXY3D/Sailfin-Extruder">https://github.com/CroXY3D/Sailfin-Extruder</a> repository.</p><p>However I needed some adjustments:</p><ul><li>it's bit more compact. It allows to keep the printing area unchanged and avoid modification of origin cartridge or endstopers (for Flying Bear Ghost 5 carriage)</li><li>some parts have been reinforced and optimized for FDM printing</li><li>fast release block system</li><li>a few ergonomic adjustments</li></ul><p>For this assemble you will need a BMG clone from the original printer, a 3x12mm pin (can be replaced with an M3 bolt), and a LDO NEMA 14 motor (the most expensive part of this upgrade). And of course a few M3 and brass inserts fasteners.</p><p>After installing E0 steps per mm configuration need to be adjusted as well as current for E0 driver. Retractions configuration may be optimized up to 0.6-1mm with speed 23-25mm/s values.</p><p>My configuration changes for original Flying Bear Ghost 5 firmware (only as reference values):</p><blockquote><p>DEFAULT_E0_STEPS_PER_UNIT 689DEFAULT_E0_MAX_FEEDRATE 100DEFAULT_E0_MAX_ACCELERATION 3000DEFAULT_RETRACT_ACCELERATION 2500DEFAULT_EJERK 5.0</p></blockquote><p>Please check out my mount adapter for Flying Bear Ghost 5 original carriage (<a href="https://www.printables.com/model/316505-sailfin-extruder-mount-adapter-for-flying-bear-gho">Sailfin Extruder mount adapter for Flying Bear Ghost 5</a> ) too.</p><p>Category: 3D Printer Parts</p>
