Simple Dual Bowden Y Merger
Description
This is my prototype Y Merger designed to be simple and easy to use. Images and more will follow shortly. I am still printing and adjusting dimensions. As soon as I have a working model printed I will test and take pictures of the assembly. UPDATE: I have printed a working model so far. I am beginning to test it out and play with settings. This Y merger is 1 part, just print two copies, the merger clamps on to the 10mm push in fitting on the top of your e3d v6 or J-head clone. All you need is a piece of bowden, split in half part way and two extruders and two more 10mm fittings. Parts: 3 x 10mm Pneumatic push fittings. Same ones that come on Chinese clone E3D v6 hotends. (Should only need 2 more in addition to the one that comes with your hot end) 3 x M3 size Cap Socket screws, about 12mm in length 3 x M3 Hex nuts Piece of PTFE bowden tube split in half down the center I will be testing G-code soon. The idea was to have as short of a retraction as possible when switching filaments and as smooth a transition area as possible.
