Base for "Compact Bowden Extruder" modded for flexible Filament
thingiverse
I modified the Compact Bowden Extruder to work directly with 1.75mm filaments. It's based on schlotzz's popular design. However, I encountered issues when using flexible filaments like Polymaker Polyflex - they kept getting squeezed between the Mk8-wheel and the bowden inlet, causing misalignment. To resolve this problem, I added a support inlet right next to the Mk8-wheel. Now everything runs smoothly. I've used an MK8-Wheel with a 9mm diameter for this build. While it's specifically designed for that size, I'm curious to know if it will work with an 8mm wheel as well - please let me know if you've tried it.
