23.02.2022 Added pics of the prints. Starting testing now on my piece of crap
Geeetech A20. It's useless. But I think it would make a really nice paste printer.
///////Updates/////////////////////
A remix of something I tried to make before. This time decided to use a silicon tube as a base. You can buy empty ones or you can just clean up an empty one. You can also use stuff that comes in them for printing.
The mounts are made to go on top of an ender 3 style printer using t nuts.
No need to use acme threaded rods as it will never be so precise in its extrusion to warrant the use of an acme threaded rod.
The thing in front is a Bowden fitting for a 6mm OD tube. Have no idea what to use yet.
I have just printed it and will start testing soon.
Does not need a lot of hardware.
