Cube Gen 2 E3D (v2)

2018-04-02 - Updated Version: I quickly realised a few problems with the first design and have since updated the following:


Filament Feed Alignment
Spring Tension Placement - old version caused the finger the wander out of alignment
Stronger Frame


New version has been working better than expected, so much so I might upgrade the printer further with a heat bed.

For those, like me, that still have an old cubify cube gen 2 lying around, here is an upgrade to to get rid of the default print head assembly and replace it with a E3D V6 setup.

This upgrade came after I destroyed the old main board on purpose and replaced it with a TEVO TARANTULA MOTHERBOARD MKS BASE V1.4 since it can handle a 24V supply.

This is designed to re-use the existing stepper with the drive gear fitted in place.
The overall design would be better with a new stepper motor, as the gear is a little close to the stepper.
