Hi!, I want to put a bowden extruder on this printer. If I find an Anet A8 extruder on thingiverse it will fit on this?
Thanks.
Sure, you just need to find a way to mount the hotend.
This printer has a moving bed and will get no gains from a bowden system, probably only disadvantages.
Except, it’s cool.
I never thought about it, but I should probably have a different limit for acceleration for X and Y. It never occurred to me.
I’m running a bowden on mine, you just need the different hotend mount and a way to mount the extruder (mine is at the top). You will be able to bump up speed and acceleration some, but as Ryan says since the Y axis is still the same it can’t go too much faster without issues. I’ve had reasonable results at 70mm/sec and inconsistent at 100mm/sec. Remember also to adjust the retraction, it need to be much longer with the bowden.
@billsey - Can you please share your hotend mount?
