Is the Bondtech QR Meant to be Used in This Orientation? There are obvious problems with this very unfinished drawing (the geared extruder needs to be offset to one side or the other of center) but I'm wondering if one of the Bondtech extruders could be used in this orientation? Would it be their QR model? [www.bondtech.se] It seems perfect for this case but I'm wondering if the stepper shaft would be long enough to run through the plate and still be long enough for the gears to sit on? I wish Bondtech would provide STL files for their extruders on their website so we could use them when designing but I haven't been able to find such yet.

In my case I'm building a tank for durability, longevity, strength, and stability so speed isn't an issue. I don't need to print very fast.]]> Garry Bartsch General Wed, 19 Sep 2018 20:48:24 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834115#msg-834115 Re: Is the Bondtech QR Meant to be Used in This Orientation? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834115#msg-834115
I can send you the Fusion 360 file for the model I made (I might have a Solidworks file as well), or a STEP file if your using a different CAD program (if interested PM me your email address).]]> gmedlicott General Wed, 19 Sep 2018 18:03:09 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834076#msg-834076 Re: Is the Bondtech QR Meant to be Used in This Orientation? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834076#msg-834076
The picture doesn't show it well but there is a plate behind the rails so the rail isn't taking the weight.]]> Garry Bartsch General Wed, 19 Sep 2018 13:34:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834037#msg-834037 Re: Is the Bondtech QR Meant to be Used in This Orientation? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834037#msg-834037 any help extruder link]]> jinx General Wed, 19 Sep 2018 02:28:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834025#msg-834025 Is the Bondtech QR Meant to be Used in This Orientation? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,834025,834025#msg-834025
