My take on a Dual Hercustruder
I’ve been having extrusion issues with my EZStruders and have been looking at a better design that is adapted for use with a geared nema 17. After considering designing my own I found the Hercustruder and knew it was the right option for me.
A big thanks to @Eclsnowman for releasing his Solidworks files. With them I was able to make the modifications I needed to design it for my custom application.
Since my printer sits below cabinets I needed to minimize the height it took up. I could have gone further but I’m pretty happy with the gap I have (~5mm below cabinet doors)
Some of the tweaks I made:
- Reduced base thickness to 2mm
- Removed stock mount plate
- Removed 2 outermost Nema 17 geared stepper mount holes (Used on base)
- 4.2mm through to run ptfe tube to hobb
- Mirrored extruder base
- Designed new ptfe tube holder to receive 1/8" BSPT fitting.
I’d be more than willing to share all this assuming I’m not stepping on Eric’s toes. Thanks for looking!
