Got my ORD Hadron.. Got some questions..

[orcinus]

For info, I got my (classic, non-Greg) Wade extruder, stepper and J-Head from 2printbeta.de, and it fits! Guess I got lucky... although I've cursed the damn extruder many many times while building it. Building a classic Wade makes it very clear why Greg Frost designed an "accessible" variant...

Got a Wade's from 2printbeta.de, but not using their stepper, and there's no way to fit the extruder on the bracket. Are you mounting it with the stepper facing the back-plate or the gears facing the back-plate? Did you mount the hyena with the shorter end on the gear side or the longer?

Will post a pic tonight.

Edit: Here's how my Wade looks attached to my Hadron:

Fabricating a bracket is likely the only robust solution. For me, I'm looking at replacing the carriage plate with something of my own making, hopefully it fits better. If so, I'll post some pics..

Ah, that explains it.
Your stepper is substantially shorter than mine.

You've bought it from 2printbeta, right?
Does it have enough torque?

Yes, it's from 2printbeta. I haven't printed anything yet, but I have tested extrusion itself, if only for a couple cm or so. It seems to have plenty enough torque for PLA through a .35mm J-head.

Great, thanks!
Think i'll order a stepper from them.

I don't like the idea of mounting the extruder the other way around and it's a cleaner solution than adding an adapter plate (that would be a three-plate stack - bracket + adapter + arcol.hu MDF plate), plus, it'd stick out.
