RepRap Ormerod extruder modyfication

thingiverse

If you want to move your extrude motor next to hot-end this one is for you. I used a part of original bracket as I had limited options to print new high quality parts. I needed to bend my bracket a bit, because it was to close to Acrylic X-axis element. You will need to: Cut and drill extruder body. Drill and thread radiator, to fix the bracket (difficult part). Drill a hole in X-axis acrylic to fix your bracket. Trim plastic pipes to proper length. 2, 2.5 and 3mm drill bits will be needed. Additional: rise X-axis current to 1000mA (oryginal 800mA) in config file on SD card or use lower speed mount extrude motor with connector pointed up What you get: Much higher objects quality (limited stringing) Faster/easier filament load (75mm instead of 420mm) Model is made in "Creo Parametric" 3D software.
