Printrbot LC V2 Conversion : Metal Gear Extruder + Bowden + E3D Hotend
This is a conversion kit for the following parts :
- E3D Hotend : http://e3d-online.com/ourshop/prod_2781400-E3Dv5-All-metal-HotEnd-175mm-Direct-Extrusion.html
- Metal Gear System Extruder : http://www.reprapsource.com/en/shop/list/201
- Bowden cable
It should work with the bowden provided with the E3D hotend, just check the pneufit thread diameter.
Be careful with your printer calibration, especially for the carriage : any misalignment will "block" the carriage on the rods.
The extruder placement I chose was not the wiser : it is a bit painful to change the filament.
Finally, many thanks to ajd4096 for his quick fit carriage scad file, and to Joachim Glauche for the extruder design (found here : https://github.com/Joaz/machine_parts/tree/master/mgs_prusa)
