Voron Afterburner Extruder Body Mod
Hey all,
I've recently become infatuated with the Voron Afterburner and really want to see it any or all of my 14 Prusa MK3s'. I've never designed my own extruder or modded one, so I'm wondering, before I jump into it, has anyone created an adapter to allow the Afterburner to work with a Prusa?
Secondly, I would LOVE if PR added QOL enhancements to the stock MK3 design similar to those the Afterburner has. These are including, but not limited to: swappable toolheads, flip-up hotend fan, more secure PINDA probe, and 2 sided parts fan.
Anyone else like Afterburner?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

I too have been trying to figure out how to mount it to my MK3S+ - it is a very nice looking extruder.
I might print out the parts to see about fitment, it is an easy print.

It'd be a lot easier with the MK3 x-carriage and x-carriage-back STEP files. I can't use SCAD.

Yes, I like it, and for all the reasons you mentioned.
Syncronicity! The general topic was just recently discussed: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-user-mods-octoprint-enclosures-nozzles-.../quickchange-mod-for-i3-mk3-s-printhead/

That said, the dyzeXtruder looks very compelling also.
The Prusa design works, but it needs a refresh to stay current.

It would be awesome to have the Afterburner here, I'd definitely print and install it! 😍
RE: Voron Afterburner Extruder Body Mod
Just my opinion/hope, but since not as much modding stuff seems to be getting designed first for the Prusa these days, I think the best hope is that a common platform like the wam bam mutant takes off. That way, if anyone designs a Voron Afterburner for that platform, it can be readily attached to *any* printer, including the Prusa. I think it will catalyze innovation by tapping a broader community of modders in a way that we haven't seen for a while now.
