Extruder

To Build Instructions List

Because there is a variety of different extruders you can use I will only be showing how to attach the Bowden style stepper motors and the BLTouch sensor if you have one.

Parts List

Hardware

  • Bowden extruder kit(s)
  • BLTouch Sensor

  • Extruder Motor Mount

Motor Mount

Although the Extruder Motor Mount has 6 holes you only need to use 2. Insert 2 M5x10 Bolts into the Extruder Motor Mount and put 2 T nuts on the bolts. Slide the Extruder Motor Mount onto the top of the printer frame and tighten the M5 bolts. Put the Extruder Motor Mount on the side of the printer where you want the filament to come from. for me, I put them on the left. Install the Nema 17 motor and the Bowden Extruder kit onto the Extruder Motor Mount using the hardware that came with the Bowden Extruder kit.

BLTouch

The BLTouch will attach to the bottom of the Extruder Mount Plate with 2 M3x10 bolts.
