Greg's / Kuehling's / Chema's 3mm Dwarfstruder
Description
__Note:__ Does Not Extrude Nor Contain Dwarves! I Wanted To Try Out The 1:50 Geared Stepper From 2Engineers / Trinitylabs On A 3Mm Extruder And, After A Bit Of Search Through Existing Offerings, Decided To Roll My Own. It'S Based Off Of Chemafuji'S Wade Reloaded Modified For The Same Stepper And I3, But With Some Modifications... #### Notable Changes: - The I3 Specific Features Are Gone - The Extruder Base Has Been Stripped Down To Minimum Possible Size - The Filament Hole Has A Conical Mouth To Enable Easier Filament Loading (No Snags With Extremely Curved Filament) - The Stepper Is Supported With The Widening Around The Shaft Base Via The Appropriate Hole On The Back Face Of The Extruder, Not Just The 2 Bolts - The Extruder Cavity Is Dimensioned To Accept A 625 Bearing (Commonly Used In Makerslide V-Wheels) So The Stepper Shaft Isn'T Radially Loaded Anymore And The Gearbox Lasts Longer #### Upcoming Improvements: - Built-In Groovemount Clamp (Eliminating The Need For A Mounting Plate) - Taller Idler Block (To Avoid Bolt Slippage) - Tweaked Idler Block Mounting Distance (See Above) - Sideways Mounting Version (For Bowden Setups - Although I'M Not Sure If This Stepper Is Appropriate, Due To Low Retraction Speed) #### Disclaimer: Please Excuse The Messy Scad. It'S Only Going To Get Messier :P
