extruder indicator dicstancer
Description
This design is made increase the distance between the extruder indicator pin (wher the indicator or knob connect), from the Z-Axis screw. This is done to be able to attach larger indicators such as [Garen Spinning Extruder Indicator](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4975743). It was designed for the Biqu b1, but should work for Ender 3 and other similar printers. This should work with most extruder indicators , although i wouldn't trust the gears to be used with a manual knob. That said, the turning direction of the new extroder pin is reversed to the original so if your indicator has a specific spin direction you should mirror it before slicing. Feel free to make any adjastments and remixes. I tried to make the CAD as parametric is i could, but i ran into some problems. The main one is that the gears have parameters that cannot be set dynamically. I did document these in the spreadsheet just like the dynamic ones, but if you change them, make sure you change manualy in the two gears as well. The measurements for the extruder pin (diameter and flat part size) I copied from techboner's [extruder knob](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3176144). The rest is my own design. Note: This is my first cad project, and some parts are a bit finicky and the clearances aren't the best. That said, this design works as intended in my opinion, so i probably won't upload a fix myself. If you make and upload a better version, please contact me and i'll happily add a link to your remix.
