3mm filament Orbiter Remix for e3d tool changer

prusaprinters

<p>Sharing my model for a 3mm Orbiter based direct extruder adapted to work on the E3D Toolchanger.</p> <p>I used the excellent base Orbiter extruder from w1ber (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4643022">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4643022</a>) and modified the filament path for 3mm. The base accomodates a 6mm PTFE tube that leads directly into the standard e3d v6 extruder mounted underneath. To keep it tight, the tube length is cut right at the length before assembling.</p> <p>As hotend holder I use my ToolChanger E3D V6 hotend mount (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3843247">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3843247</a>) below - printed in CF PETG it proves rigid enough for repeatability. The Part cooling fan is also published there. The hotend is a bowden original e3d V6 3mm.</p> <p>The files have been printed in Nylon with a HP MJF machine, they hold up very nicely (~100h printing so far). The base is made to accomodate M3 inserts.</p> <p>The base extruder bits (gears and shaft) are coming from the kit sold on Aliexpress, and I replaced the filament wheels with the 3mm inner diameter 8mm Drivegear kit from TriangleLab (<a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32950159362.html">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32950159362.html</a>)</p> <p>All in, it works extremely well and provides a neat way to print 3mm filament with effective cooling. The only alternative I know of for 3mm on Toolchanger would be the Aero extruder, and I couldn't find a solution to mount a part cooler...</p> Category: 3D Printer Extruders
