Wanhao i3 Plus extruder block designer's placeholder

thingiverse

**This is a placeholder object for 3D designers.** It was rough-modelled based on the critical dimensions of a real-world object. It has three intended uses: 1. **A virtual placeholder.** Import it into your CAD program and then build around it. This helps you position features like mounting holes, and allows you to visualise the design as a completed whole. 2. **A subtractive tool.** Use it to subtract a space from another shape, like making a knife sheath by using a model of a knife blade to cut a hole into a block. 3. **A measurement aid.** Open the STL in [Netfabb Basic](https://www.netfabb.com/products/netfabb-basic) and make virtual measurements from it. 4. **A physical placeholder.** If you design a holder for your phone, for example, you can print a placeholder for testing instead of risking your phone. --- This is a model of the extruder block from my Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus. I used it to design the [GUST i3 print cooler](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2594317). Files included are: 1. The X axis bracket that holds everything to the rails. 2. A Micro Swiss hot end and cooling block 3. The stepper motor, extruder gear, heatsink, and cooling fan for the extruder block 4. A file that incorporates all of the above. Each comes in the following file formats: - Fusion 360 project (.f3d) - Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (.step) - Stereolithography (.stl)
