Bowdenized Greg mount for ORD Bot?

Postby orcinus » Wed Aug 21, 2013 9:05 pm

Before i start figuring out my own mount for getting a bowden-adapted Greg's extruder onto a Hadron, does anyone, by any chance, already have one designed? Or an adapter plate of some sort? I'm thinking of mounting it to one of the Z axis makerslides.

Here's one I did that worked pretty well: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:138015

The sender side bolts to the bottom of the Greg's extruder and the extruder part bolts on to the carriage in place of the Greg's extruder. I also have a bracket there that I used to hang the Greg's from, but IIRC I had to do some cutting to get the sender side to fit right ... the bracket was too narrow, but it was an easy fix.

I want convert my dual extrude setup I have right now into a bowden type but I want to keep it direct drive and I'm looking at mounting options that won't take too much Z height away. When I come up with something that works, I'll post a link.

Btw, I used this for 3mm filament. You may want to look at other tubes for 1.75.

Not sure if that was directed at me, but if yes, no worries, i'm on 3mm and already got a 3mm tube + fittings.
