A-Struder

thingiverse

This allows you to mount your extruder close to the effector on a delta printer. It is based on the "AirStruder", located here:http://repables.com/r/531/ I designed a new A-frame mounting plate to allow access to the spring parts of the extruder. Here is a video of it working:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imRCvYbiQfI There are two top plates in the download, one for generic extruders, one for the E3D Titan. Use whichever suits your extruder. I also recommend using dampers on the springs, as shown here:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2058541 Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Kossel Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Notes: Use ABS, so that the bracket can flex and grip the NEMA 17 motor. How I Designed This I started with the Air Struder, and printed the base and bracket. However the base didn't allow me to use my extruder. So I kept the bracket and eyeballed an A frame replacement. The holes don't quite line up perfectly in the software (they're maybe 0.5mm off), but this doesn't matter in practice as the bracket flexes quite a lot to encircle the NEMA 17 motor's body.
