Description

Based on the idea of Greg's Wade Extruder, this Extruder has an axis distance of 36 mm for use with industrial gearwheels (Module 1, sum of teeth = 72 e.g. 12 + 60).

Instructions

You need:
1. Nema 17 stepper motor
2. gearwheel with 12 teeth for the motor
3. gearwheel with 60 teeth for the hobbed rod
4. hobbed rod (diameter = 8 +0/-0.05 mm, length = 56 mm, hobbing at 22.5 mm from rear end).
5. adjusting collar (DIN 705 A, inner diameter = 8 mm)
6. washer M8 (1x),washer M4 (2x), washer M3 (3x)
7. nuts M4 (2x)
8. threaded rod M4 (2x)
9. spring (proper for threaded rod M4) (2x)
10. twin hole nut DIN 547 M4 (2x)(for tensioning the springs)
11. lens head screw M3 x ? for Stepper Motor (3x)
12. rod for idler (diameter = 8 +0/-0.05 mm, length = 19 mm)
13. ball bearing 608 (3x)
14. Hot End with 10 mm diameter
15. screw M3 x 25 to fix the hot end (2x)

Hi, cool i like the design

are there the drawings or pictures of the hand drawings for that design avail ? I do have an shaper cube which uses an budashnozzle which is also ok

would be very nice for some hints i
´ll build then some nozzles thx thomas

Do you have part numbers for the gears? I'd love if some manufacturer offered steel gears that were the correct dimensions we needed for our extruders.

I like the design. Many of the other 3D printable extruders rely on printing gears which always seemed hard to do (especially the stepper motor pinion gear).

I was able to download extruder_36.stl OK, but adruecker.stl does not seem to be an STL file. My browser loads a giant file in a new window that indicates it is a OpenScad file. Maybe the file names are reversed and the file marked .SCAD is the .STL file?

Begin lines in andruecker.stl:

solid O
penSCAD_Model
facet normal -1.000000 -0.000000 -0.000000
outer loop

Zweilochmutter = Round nuts with drilled holes in one face

What for do you use them?
