For the past two years I have been designing and redesigning this print head to be extremely accurate as well as versatile and modular. Originally I designed this to fit on my Geeetech i3 pro b (metal parts) but now that I've got the design nailed I modified it to be used with any Prusa (or similar) printer.
Why this design?
This design is one of the lightest direct drive print heads out there without sacrificing usability; here are some examples:
Anyone looking to make this will need both "Fan_Mount" files as well as the "Fan_Duct_v1" - Also, these print head files require two square m4 nuts. If you don't plan on removing the print head excessively (I do because I'm working on multiple print heads) then you can print the "Plastic_Nut" file twice and glue them into the slots instead of actual metal ones.
Anyone looking to make this for their Geeetech i3 pro b (metal parts) will need to download one of the print head files that has "Metal_Carriage" in the name. (There is a standard version as well as one for a BL Touch and another for an induction sensor)
Anyone looking to make this for any other prusa i3 will need to print out the "Carriage.stl" in order to attach the print head to your printer. Also, make sure to print out the appropriate print head file (it must have "Plastic_Carriage" in the name) These print heads also come in 3 variants:
