Zorbido hotend adapter

<p>I preordered and received the <strong>Rapido</strong> hotend from <a href="http://fabreeko.com/">Fabreeko.com</a> and designed a Prusa MK3s+ x-end adapter for it. It uses an Orbiter 1.5 extruder. I call it the Zorbido because I built mine off the Zaribo Orbiter adapter. Zaribo + Orbiter + Rapido = Zorbido.</p><p><img src="https://forum.prusaprinters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Zorbido-600x500.png" alt=""></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Initial tests have been unbelievable.</p><p>I normally run anywhere from .8mm to 1.6mm of retraction on my dozen stock Prusas. With the Rapido using a .4mm nozzle, I have been able to drop my retraction down to .2mm! And this is with PETG! I've never been happier with a hotend.</p><p><strong>Pros:</strong></p><ul><li>Rigid mount for 1-handed nozzle changes.</li><li>Heatbreak reinforced by screws.</li><li>Heatblock doesn't obstruct nozzle.</li><li>Thermistor and heater wires are far away from the nozzle so no more dirty or frayed wires. They are also reinforced with a metal spring so they can't be bent easily at the connection.</li><li>Comes with connectors for both wires</li><li>Comes with 2 .4mm nozzles, 1 reinforced.</li><li>Heats up insanely fast.</li><li>Silicone sock covers a huge surface area and won't easily come off or be destroyed.</li><li>Without the groove-mount adapter, it's actually 10mm+ shorter than an E3D v6. I actually had to increase the distance between it and my extruder to not need to change too much geometry.</li><li>Dropped my retraction my a TON.</li><li>It's blue or black.</li></ul><p><strong>Cons:</strong></p><ul><li>Price? It's like, 50% more expensive than a v6, but since it comes with a thermistor and heater, it's not more expensive than a Dragon.</li><li>Wires being higher up means it won't fit perfectly on some mounts designed for the v6. Currently my mount needs more optimized wire management.</li></ul><p><i><strong>Note:</strong></i> the retraction test in the photo shows retractions increasing by .1mm at each ridge. Starting at 0mm retraction. Notice anything? There's no stringing regardless of retraction settings! Insane!</p><p><strong>Assembly:&nbsp;</strong><br><br>Print all the parts of the Zorbiter, but swap out the <strong>extruder body</strong> and <strong>motor cover</strong> for my 2 parts.&nbsp;<br><br>Follow the assembly instructions for the Zorbiter almost entirely. You need to use M3 heatset inserts wherever a nut would go in my parts aside from the PINDA sensor.&nbsp;<br><br>You'd also need to cut down your PTFE tube, but I don't have that size on-hand. It's easy enough to figure out, imo.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE: I have </strong><i><strong>not done</strong></i><strong> proper cable management and the thermistor and heater wires don't have a great place. They might affect x-calibration since they pass alongside the fan and PINDA wires. I'll work on that later.&nbsp;</strong></p>
