MK8 / MK10 / MK11 Aluminum Extruder Feeder Upgrade (Left + Right)
The conventional extruders are usually made of plastic.
Due to the high mechanical and thermal stress, there may be problems with the extruder plastic parts.
Our II Generation Extruder Upgrade is made entirely of aluminum and is therefore significantly more stable and durable than the plastic version.
The item is suitable for Reprap Prusa i3 Rostock Kossel as well as the Makerbot Replicator models (clones / replicas: Wanhao, CTC, etc.).
However, you should reconcile the exact dimensions of your current extruder with our article in order to avoid any surprises during the conversion.
Attention when using as a direct extruder:
. When mounting directly to the HotEnd, i.e., with the stepper motor and extruder not exposed, the following must be observed:
So that the filament outlet of the extruder runs flush with the inlet of the printer or the aluminum mounting block, the use of each approx. 2mm spacers is necessary for some printer models. These come between stepper motor and HotEnd-Montage-Block.
Please give us to the order a short note, so that we can put you these spacers (4x 1mm) with in the package.
