skelestruder x carriage remix for wanhao i3

Give new life to an aging 3D printer with an excellent extruder from JTLX. It's definitely worth the effort you put into it. Skelestruder Carriage Remix for Wanhao I3 Printers With Improved Belt Path, Suitable for Wanhao I3 V2.1 and My Favorite Belt Tensioner System and Belt Lock System. After using a MK3 R4 Extruder Adapted to the Wanhao I3, this Skelestruder is Significantly Better with Accelerations and Retractions and Overall Printing Quality. Just the Change to Bondtech or "Similar" (Cloned) Extruder Dual Gears Makes a Night and Day Difference Compared to the Standard MK10 Wanhao I3 Extruder. I Successfully Cranked the Speed Multiplier to 200% with No Perceptible Difference on the Prints. Future Plans Include Melzi Board Replacement, Preferably with a 32-Bit Board, but Retaining the Control Box, Because It Enables the Electronics to Be Located Outside of an Enclosure and Thus Keep Them in a Fresh Environment. Also, Maybe a Tentative Mosquito Remix of the Extruder. Thanks to JTLX for His Excellent Work. Feel Free to Add Suggestions and Comments, and to Remix as You Wish. Revision 2 - Minor Editing and Formatting of Text. Revision 1 - Reworked X_Endstop to Gain About 12mm of X Axis to Regain 200mm of Build Area on the X Axis. This Part Is Only for Original Melzi Board or Someone That Uses Switch Endstop on X Axis. Corrected Wrong I3 Duplicator Version, Mine is a V2.1, Sorry. Revision 3 - Corrected Placement of X-Stop for Optimal Printing.
