Solidoodle Hot Head Mount + Filament Feed

thingiverse

This replacement hot-head mount is compatible with the original Solidoodle acrylic version, retaining screws and using the existing spring. Install the hot-head first, followed by attaching it to the printer; handling bottom nuts can be tricky. Tested successfully, this model is based on the Minimalistic Mk7 replacement but tailored for Solidoodle with proper tension and clearance. Note that after performing this modification, you may need to adjust the Z-axis screw due to potential lowered hot head height, ensuring safe operation and zeroing. An update from 11-09-2012 features a new extruder design using a screw instead of a spring for better filament feeding; the original screw is reused from the acrylic Solidoodle jigsaw puzzle. All STL files are in millimeters.
