BIBO Touch Extruder Top Plate

thingiverse

Replacement extruder top plate for the BIBO Touch 3D printer. This design removes the two bolts/nuts that press against the front extruder fans causing fan noise and/or fan failure. A support has been added between the two long bolts to allow these bolts to be tightened. The top plate will then press against the two extruder motors and the new support and not the front fans. I used only one of the long bolts when I installed it since only the back long bolt was needed. I originally created this because the filament guide fittings on my printer were loose and kept falling out of the top plate holes, then made the change to add the support to allow the removal of the front fan portion. Also included is a second version (v5) that I intended to use for new extruders I bought that have a threaded feed hole so that the filament guide fitting will be integrated in the extruder body. EDIT: I added a 2 piece version. Separating the support allows it to be printed laying down so the layer lines are lengthwise making it less likey to break. Also removed one of the long bolt holes, since two bolts are not needed.
