Topic: Jigsaw Replacement mk3
Thanks to collaboration of myself, Tek and Jeffery Sanders, I present the jigsaw replacement extruder mk3.
All parts are manifold and should slice cleanly and without error.
Improvements Over Mk2
Tensioner arm added to design, based on the file provided by Jeffery Sanders. Optimised for original bolts so that no nuts are required.
Mounting bosses added similar to Jeffery Sanders' redux design. Retainer added that screws onto these bosses as the basis for...
Accessory mounting system. Quickly attach or detach parts such as fans and dial indicator mounts. Parts are held securely and square. See dial indicator mount example in pics below.
Instructions
Print all parts at 50% fill or greater for strength.
Tensioner arm may require extra perimeters to eliminate gaps.
Dial indicator mount has 8mm diameter opening to suit my gauge. Modify the SketchUp file to suit your own.

Instructions for printing and assembly can be followed from the previous thread:

Only change is screwing on retainer if you are fitting accessories and printing tensioner arm if you wish to omit all original acrylic jigsaw parts.
