The file '[V8.0] One/Two-Up Extruder With Lever And Adjustable Tension (E3D Support!) 3D Printer Model' is (STL,SLDPRT,zip) file type, size is 2.2MB.
IMPORTANT
The current version only allows for mounting with the lever to the left of the stepper motor and drive gear. If you would like to make your extruder with the lever to the right, you an either message me and I will upload those files or you can mirror both main frame pieces along either the x or the y axis and it will work.
Additionally, people have reported that when this extrder is printed in pla, it is not resistant enough to print at ABS temperatures. If you print the extruder and fan bracket in abs, it should be resistant enough to support abs printing. Also, I would highly recommend printing the fan bracket and running your fan at a minimum of 50% at all times. This will extend the life of your extruder.
So I can't think of some clever name for the extruder, but hopefully the features make up for it! This extruder is designed for easy loading, easy adjustment, and reliable prints.
