Description
Stronger idler arm for "Yet another extruder filament drive"
(Extruder for Thing-o-Matic and earlier Makerbot Industries printers)
Changes:
* thicker front side
* gave proper names to parametric steps
* LONG HOLE, so the pressure bolt can come at an angle
* wider long hole, so an M4 bolt can move freely
* round hole for bearing (more strength)
* reshaped sides for added strength
* wider hole for 608Z bearing
* wider axis hole for 608Z bearing
Stronger body
* thicker idler arm
* larger base plate to attach idler arm to
* wider mounting nut holes
* gave names to many parametric operations
* long stepper motor mounting holes to perfectly align
* ever so slightly smaller mounting blocks
* allow longer extruder mounting bolts then required
