			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;d be glad to be a guinea pig.&nbsp; I have just installed the V6 on my SD2 and really haven&#039;t finished wiring it up.&nbsp; So, I don&#039;t even know if it works yet - hope so, my factory hot end had it&#039;s third new nozzle &amp; tube since Christmas, and it plugged in about 20 minutes.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got a bit of work to do with calibration and all that goes with that.&nbsp; If push comes to shove, I guess I can try blasting the old nozzle with hellfire and maybe get it unclogged.</p><p>Food for thought, as I said, I don&#039;t know if the printer will even work yet.&nbsp; Elmoret has engineering drawings on his Filastruder/E3d site - would help with measurements.&nbsp; </p><p>Ski</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>yes V6 fits much smaller space so easy to do duel extruders plus cooling fans. they upgraded CNC and made fins thinner so less space was required. its like half as big with same features</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>now the big question. can this be used on a duel extruder setup for at least one of the extruders and use other for support material as it dont need bridge cooling? if so then all I need is glass plate and board with connector pins for the cooling fan and duel extruders for my SD2 instead of an SD apprentice</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just a small update.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been experimenting with flexible filament, and I wanted my extruder to work with it without issues.&nbsp; I had to print several iterations of this before I got it right, but I think that it works well now.&nbsp; I&#039;m still having issues where the idler bearing is as tight as possible, but it is squishing the filament against the drive gear and ultimately slipping on the idler bearing.&nbsp; This causes it to then slip on the drive gear and not extrude.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if it is a design flaw on my part, or that I have improper settings for temperatures and extrusion speed.</p><p>Anyway, here is a preview of the files.&nbsp; I will upload it to thingiverse in the next day or so.&nbsp; Thanks.</p><p>P.S.&nbsp; I just added some extra clearance on the idler bearing.&nbsp; I might have gone a bit overboard.&nbsp; I will print a copy of this soon, but for now my print with less clearance with xacto knife clearance added will work for now.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.soliforum.com/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;item=6223&amp;download=0" alt="http://www.soliforum.com/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;amp;item=6223&amp;amp;download=0" /></span></p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.soliforum.com/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;item=6224&amp;download=0" alt="http://www.soliforum.com/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;amp;item=6224&amp;amp;download=0" /></span></p><p>I added a fit for a brass threaded insert on one part of it.&nbsp; I will remove that feature in the published version, because it is not necessary for this to work.&nbsp; I will include that version if anyone has inserts from Mcmaster (which I recommend).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Sorry about that!&nbsp; I&#039;m glad that someone is making something that I designed, and I&#039;ll do what I can to help you get it to work.&nbsp; You should be able to slap on some nuts onto the existing long bots to &quot;trim&quot; the length without having to buy a new pair.&nbsp; That&#039;s what i did with mine.&nbsp; Here&#039;s what I mean: (The two dark gray items are nuts that lock each other from moving and the bolt just sticks out harmlessly in the back where you can&#039;t see it)</p><p><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/wmfootball75/media/boltdiagram.png.html"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/wmfootball75/boltdiagram.png" alt="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/wmfootball75/boltdiagram.png" /></span></a></p><p>Please let me know if you have any recommendations on how to improve it!&nbsp; Thanks man.</p>]]></description>
