skelestruder x carriage remix for wanhao i3
Description
Give new life to a somewhat aging 3d Printer, with an excellent extruder from jtlx. It's worth the effort you put in it. Skelestruder carriage remix for wanhao i3 printers with improved belt path for wanhao i3 v2.1 and my favourite belt tensioner system and belt lock system. After using a mk3 r4 extruder adapted to the wanhao i3, this skelestruder is significantly better with accelerations and retractions and overall printing quality, just the change to bondtech or "similar"(cloned) extruder dual gears makes a night and day difference compared to the standart mk10 wanhao i3 extruder. I managed to crank the speed multiplier to 200% with no perceptible difference on the prints. Future plans include melzi board replacement, preferably with a 32 bit board, but retaning the control box, because it enables the electronics to be located outside of a enclosure and thus keep them in a fresh envvironment. Also maybe a tentative mosquito remix of the extruder. Thanks to jltx for his excellent work. Feel free to add sugestions and comments, and to remix as you wish. (Not really a) revision 2 - minor editing and formating of text. Revision 1 - reworked x_endstop to gain about 12mm of X axis to regain 200mm of build area on the x axis - this part is only to original melzi board or someone that uses switch endstop on x axis. Corrected wrong i3 duplicator version, mine is a v2.1, sorry :( Revision 3 - corrected placement of x-stop for optimal printing
