Ultimaker Bowden Pop-Stop
Description
This Thing Has Moved To Youmagine: Https://Www.Youmagine.Com/Designs/Ultimaker-Bowden-Pop-Stop This Little Gadget Is For The Ultimaker V1 Hot End And Does These Things For You: - Is A Printable Solution To Bowden Slipping/Popping Problems - Solves The Filament Plugging In The Hot End Problem - Reduces The Stress On Any Clamping Solution (So The Standard White Clip Is Sufficient, If Desired) - Makes The Whole Linkage Of Bowden, Filament, Brass And Peek More Tolerant To Minor Problems And Easier To Adjust And Service The Pop-Stop Forms A Solid Barrier That Fits Inside The Wooden Head Block. A Short Length Of Tube Provides A Filament Path From The Pop-Stop To The Brass Nozzle (Inside The Peek Part). The Pop-Stop Prevents The Tube From Separating From The Brass, And Through The Four Long Screws, It Allows Some Pressure Adjustment So That You Can Be Assured A Good Fit Between Tube And Brass Without Ever Getting Leakage That Causes The Traditional Tube Plugging/Slipping/Popping Problems. The Main Length Of Bowden (From The Extruder) Is Then Attached To The Head And The Pop-Stop Either By Use Of The Standard White Clamp And Blue Clip, Or By An "Owen Clamp" (Which Is Printable). It'S Possible To Use E-Clips Or Any Other Type Of Clamping Solution - The Good News Is That Most Of The Back-Pressure Force Is Absorbed By The Pop-Stop, So The Clamp Doesn'T Have To Do Very Much Work. Even If The Clamp Isn'T Very Good And Lets The Tube Slip A Little During A Long Print, You Won'T Get A Plug And Your Print Won'T Fail.
