About this 3D model

Moved, look here: https://www.printables.com/model/336820-byteborgs-direct-drive-extruder-3mm This is my version of a direct drive extruder. You will need to strengthen the part with the spring-loaded lever, if you want to use it ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources are included - please, send me your modifications. It is optimized for the following aspects: * dead simple, no unnecessary parts * low profile, maximising effective print height on my prusa * easy operation, spring-loaded mechanism for easy load/unload * easy to build The source lives at https://github.com/byteborg/mendelparts/tree/master/parts/direct-drive-extruder and you are welcome to play with it. __Update version 0.2:__ Added a part to hold the bearing in place (bearing_clip.stl) __Update version 0.3:__ Sturdier extruder body __Public Service Announcement:__ Print the roller lever in ABS, and print it twice :) PLA is too brittle and _will break_ after mangling a few kilograms of material. You want to have one of these in spare. Perhaps I'll redesign the lever shape a bit, in case it troubles me too much. __Public Service Announcement #2:__ Do use DRV8825 stepper driver for added torque ;-)
