Davinci 1.0A with MK8 extruder

thingiverse

fitted a MK8 extruder directly to the davinci 1.0A without any mods drilling or cutting thought I would share it as its a lot easier than all the other mods I have seen for the troublesome stock extruder used the original heater to save wiring the plug for the new heater cut the connector off the original thermister and fitted it to the mk8 hotends thermister it mounts in the same holes as the original stepper fan is wired direcly to 12V I will repurpose the original fan as a cooler this mod requires the repetier reflash extruder direction needs inverting in the configuration file (same configuration.h used when reflashing) no extra screws needed , enough leftover from the stock extruder filament sensor disabled and original pcb retained fro the existing connectors The hotend will need rotating to a position that does not clash with the plastic x carrier the nozzle does end up off centre but its a small sacrifice for an easy upgrade to mk8 this is the setting to reverse the extruder in the configuration.h file i have read that the wires on the stepper can be swapped around for the same effect mine is a 1.0A so i changed to true if DAVINCI==1 || DAVINCI==4 define EXT0_INVERSE true
