Summary

UPDATE March 28th: Added option for stronger V2 idler (with toggleable handle and additional fixation screw) in CUSTOMIZER

This is a remix of schlotzz's compact direct drive bowden extruder. All credit goes to schlotzz for the awesome bavarian engineering on this thing!

The design is highly customizable and works with MK7 or MK8 (and more) hobbed pulleys and features several mounting options! Some parametrization samples can be seen in picture 2.



This remix includes several improvements and adaptations:

  • CUSTOMIZER optimized (just open the customizer and generate a bowden extruder fitting your specific components!)
  • Different mount options available (Just a simple selection in the CUSTOMIZER toggles between no mount adapter, ANET A8 mount and parametrizable mounting bracket)
  • Option to add handle for manual tension release
  • Easily adjustable to any bowden pushfit ranging from M5 to M10



Please use the CUSTOMIZER to generate your suiting extruder! The files attached to this thing serve as examples only!



NOTE: If you switch your driving gear, you have to adapt your steps per mm of the extruder accordingly! Further informations and instructions regarding this topic can be found in the reprap wiki (click to jump to corresponding section).
