FlyingBear Ghost 5 Dual Extruder Mount
Description
ATTENTION This is only a beta version of the whole system. FEATURES This special mount system is designed to achieve dual extruder setup on the FlyingBear Ghost 5 while keeping bowden tubes shortest as possible: the possibilities introduced by this change range from automatically managing dual color printing to dual material printing, while keeping better retraction control due to short tubes. It's also an extremely cheap way to obtain dual extrusion thanks to using all stock parts. ABOUT DUAL EXTRUDER While dual color printing is an easy goal, dual material printing can be a real trivia on a single hotend printer like the Ghost 5, check for dedicated guides about the difference between them. DESIGN A special attention has been reserved to obtain a clean from "flying wire" design. There are several holes specifically designed for wires by motor and filament runout sensor to go through. On the R-Arm there's a cable guide to hide them and an hole to let the cables pass to the motherboard connector zone. There are some predisposition for zip tying. PRINTING 1x R - Arm 1x L - Arm 1x Joint 2x Runout Sensor Support 1x Central Spool Holder 1x R - Spool Holder 1x L - Spool Holder 4x Wheel Print the three big parts oriented as in the pictures, XYZ=0. For all the parts: flat side on the bed. Support needed just for Central Spool Holder. If you need use adhesion help, like brim or raft. POST PROCESSING If needed, clean holes with manual drill bites. ASSEMBLING Collect the parts. Join them together as in the picture: use M4 screws for the "body" and Central Spool Holder and M3 for the Filament Runout Sensor Support. Snap fit the whole structure on the printer frame. For motors and extruders use the related screws. That's all! No frame modification needed.
