Side Mounded Extruder and Spool Reel

thingiverse

This retro-fitted extruder, mounted on the Huxley machine's side, requires laser cutting and line bending for a snug fit against its profile. The sleek design maintains the compactness of the Huxley model. You will need three bearings (adjustable sizes with file customization) and an axle. The extruder can be attached to the reel holder's end, ensuring direct feed from the reel for consistent extrusion. Note that this part is still under development; feel free to contribute your ideas. Follow these instructions: 1. Locate a suitable hollow axle and three bearings. 2. Customize the file to fit your chosen bearings. 3. Laser cut the parts, then bend them to match the Huxley's side profile using a heat gun or line bending methods. 4. Remove screws and washers from the right side of the Huxley. 5. Replace the washers with your new part, and tighten the bolts back on. 6. Your reel is now ready for use as a side extruder.
