Extruder Assembly Look Familiar?
Hi everyone.
Does this extruder assembly look familiar to anyone? I’ve been browsing thingiverse for a couple hours now with no luck. Are there any other libraries I could look into? This is a secondhand printer and I don’t have the same files as the original owner to reproduce parts. The bearing housing that opposes the extruder bolt broke on me today and I need a workaround to get the printer back and running.
This is off a Prusa i3 v2 I believe... similar to the https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HOVMLM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_v2V4Db3DVV4N Q" target="true">reprap guru’s printer available on amazon.
I would also love to see suggestions for other extruder assemblies (including the x-axis carriage and stepper motor mount) if I’m unable to find these parts or jerry-rig this thing to work for a few prints.
thanks for the help!
RE: Extruder Assembly Look Familiar?
the problem is, that you have no idea what extruder you have, so you have no idea what hobbed gear you have.
you have a number of options
Assuming you have an E3D v6 extruder module,
1, but a pair of Bondtech gears and print a set of Mk2.5 extruder parts to use with them ( https://www.prusa3d.com/prusa-i3-printable-parts/ )
2, buy an extruder like the E3D range https://e3d-online.com/hotends
3, Buy a Bondtech Extruder
4, Buy an extruder from Ali Express or Ebay
trying to print an extruder set to match an unknown hobbed gear, is a fools errand.
