About this 3D model

My very own lightweight extruder design. Tried to reduce weight as much as I could. Tried to put the hobbed bolt as close to the hotend as possible (to the extreme limit). I hope this will reduce hysteresis and retraction settings. Development repository with scads: https://github.com/igorsrs/igor-soares-extruder, under "low_profile_extruder" directory. The source files are quite hacky, they were supposed to be just an experiment and they carried a lot of "legacy" stuff from other (creepy) experiments. I will clean them up as soon as possible. #warning This extruder is under DEVELOPMENT. I am running it on a daily basis to test it.
