VDE100 tool changer
-
Hi guys,
do you remember the VDE100 screw extruder?
It was meant as a DD-extruder on a smarteffector without fouling the rods.
Now the Bondtech INDX toolchanger is coming up and that inspired me to redesign the VDE100.
I added a pair of bevel gears which allows me to use a NEMA-08 motor without hollow shaft.
The gears are also the point where I split the extruder.- Fixed to the linear rail: the motor, filament switch and the hotend
- a set of toolhousings each hosting a modified VDE100.
Here's a rough first teaser
A shout out to @tombrazier and @rqthree who did the major work on screw extruders especially the VDE100
