Description
I have a unique RepStrap and the Brutstruder mounts included in the MakerGear Geared Stepper Plastruder are not really compatable with it so I borrowed the Brutstruder design and modified it suit my needs. I was not able to convert the Heeks CAD files to work with Pro/Engineer and ended up using my caliper to measure the one included in the kit so it's not an exact copy.
I updated the design to use the GrooveMount insulator and made it quick change so hot end swaps take less than a minute. I also designed an idler similar to the one Nophead designed for Wade's Geared Extruder.
*UPDATED*
Added ParaSolid and STEP files to download.

Having just broken a hot end, I've been thinking along similar lines. That's a very nice print, what machine did you print it on?

This is awesome, could you upload these parts in IGES or ParaSolid format? I'm having trouble opening your Pro/E files.
I just uploaded ParaSolid files, please let me know if there are any problems with them.
