This is a variant of Nylocke's and Glacian22 EZFlex extruder. It is a direct replacement for Seemecnc's EzStruder.
Designed for use with 1.75mm filament and a Nema 17 Planetary Geared Motor.
Like Glacian22 extruder, it can handle flexible filaments very well.

I'm not good at explaining the assembly in english, so I hope the pictures can show it clearly.
BOM:
- (x9) M3x10mm bolt
- (x4) M3 nut
- (x1) M4x30mm flat head bolt [Arm to Body. It needs to be a flat head bolt, so that the bearing can rotate freely]
- (x3) M4 nut (or nylon lock nuts)
- (x1) M4x50mm bolt [Body to Mounting Spacer to Mounting Bracket]
- (x1) M4x40mm bolt [Body to Mounting Spacer to Mounting Bracket]
- (x2) 684ZZ bearing (9mm OD, 4mm ID, 4mm thick)
- (x1) 625ZZ bearing (16mm OD, 5mm ID, 5mm thick)
- (x1) EzStruder Spring [don't know the specs]
- (x1) Passthrough Push Fit Connector
- (x1) Nema 17 Planetary Geared Stepper Motor (recommended ratio of 5:1)
- (x1) M7 hobbed gear for 8mm shaft
- 7cm aprox of PTFE Tubing (2mm ID x 4mm OD)
Printed Parts:
- Body
- Planetary Adapter
- Arm
- Bearing Holder (you will only need one. There are 4 with different diameter so you can choose the perfect fit)
- Spring Tensioner
- OPTIONAL: Mounting Spacer (for using M4 bolts instead of the 6-32 from seemecnc. You will need to drill bigger holes to the EZStruder Mounting Bracket)
