Orbiter 1.5 Direct-Extruder for Creality Ender 3 v2

thingiverse

Hello, here is a remix from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4668934 I rotated the Orbiter 1.5 + 90 degrees to get the motor weight a little closer to the rail. Maybe it's better because of the vibrations ?! There is now a cable recess in the mount so that the hotend cable can find its way up. I simply laid the motor cable in a protective hose parallel to the hotend cable and designed a nice, round guide on top of the 10mm fitting. The cable wraps itself nicely around the radius and is also held in place by a cable tie. Where the extruder used to be, there is now a cable guide to keep everything clean. I was too lazy to put the cable down to the circuit board and connected it to the original motor connector. E-Steps: 684, Max Acceleration: 600, Jerk: 5, Retract: 1.5mm. I reused the original hotend because I think it's good. I also left the fitting in the heat sink so that the PTFE hose (Capricorn) doesn't press against the orbiter with its pretension through the nozzle. I always leave the nozzle half a turn loose, then press the Bowden against it and then tighten it. This is how I prevent the "gap of death" between bowden and nozzle ;-)
