Description
This design aims to be simple, and reliable. Other mounting options are coming, so consider this a work in progress. I'm still playing around with solid and hollow body options, and will need to add variants for different drive gear diameters. The built-in tension spring will probably become a removable/swapable feature very soon.
Features
- No springs to adjust (It's not a bug, it's a feature!)
- Compact
- Reversible, for side-by-side dual extruder use
- Cleaning port for easy clean out
- Fully guided filament path, for easy loading

John Cabrer commented agoYes, I'll be working again on the design in the next couple of weeks. Mounting options are definitely on the menu. Stay tuned.
GastonP commented agoNice design. Some mounting prevision for a part cooler fan would be useful too.
