Remix: MK8 Extruder Upgrade (Flashforge Creator Dual Extruder)

thingiverse

Remix of: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:215739 This is for the Flashforge Creator Dual Extruder. I found that the arms were 2mm too thick preventing the heat sinks from going back on correctly and worse, preventing the arms from moving with spring tension. So they couldn't function. This remix has thinner arms. and 2.5mm less room for the spring giving it perfect tension force. The other parts are all the same. You will want to file down the pin heads after you put them together so that they are 2mm shorter too. Instructions You will need to print with support. 3 shells is good. 50% or more infill. I cut my spring in half. lots of filing and using the OEM bearing. A single spring from the makerbot spring/bearing $8 pack is all you need. You can cut the spring in half for 2 short small springs. The small dome hex screws from the same makerbot spring/bearing pack is great for holding in the OEM bearing.
