Topic: Mk5 Bowden Mount

Hello everyone, I just thought I'd drop a note here since I thought there might be some interest - I've created a bowden mount from Lawsy's very nice Mk5 jigsaw replacement. This is a mod I've been meaning to do forever, but hadn't gotten around to. I searched and didn't find anything quite like this, so hopefully someone finds it useful.

Here's the thingiverse link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:154985

The only other details you might need to know are that I'm using an Airtripper extruder which is mounted to the back of the case, reusing the screwholes from where the original PVC spool holder was mounted. I tested it, briefly, with the stock extruder stepper and it seemed to work, but I have since replaced it with a more powerful .9 degree/step motor instead.

Hopefully this helps the community a bit. Enjoy!

Nice work!

I'd like to build a delta printer at some stage so this might just be the ticket.
