The Flex Wheel has already been designed with numerous mounting holes so that it can be attached in various positions to a multitude of different printer frames - however - . This stand allows for even greater flexibility on how and where you can use the Flex Wheel. In the Bowden configuration this stand also allows you to use the Flex Wheel as a free standing unit. The extruder and stand can simply be placed on a flat surface adjacent to your printer. As a free standing unit your Flex Wheel can be easily swapped between multiple printers. Additional hardware required: 2 x M3 x 10 - 20 mm to mount fan. 2 x M5 x 10 - 20 mm to mount Flex Wheel unit to base. 4 x M3 to mount fix the stand if required. As the Flex Wheel is capable of providing a higher degree of force upon your printing filament over and above any other extrusion system the stepper motor can become a little warm once you really start cranking up the power. A 50 mm cooling fan helps keep everything cool allowing up to push the limit even further. There is a bracket either side allowing you to position the fan where most convenient, alternatively you could even double up and use two cooling fans! More power = More Hotend Barrel Pressure = Improved printing capabilities. The Flex Wheel is a revolutionary new way to grip, control and print with rigid or even the trickiest of flexible filaments with your 3D printer. https://flexwheelextruder.com Designed to be compatible with your existing 3D printer hardware and software. 1.75 or 2.85 – 3 mm configurations available.
