Genie MK2 Hotend A number of people have asked me about the grooved nut that goes on the Genie MK2 hotend. It can also be used on the Genie MK1 hotend if needed and is also reversible so that it has different lengths because the groove is not in the middle. Here is a drawing of the grooved nut and also I have made an STL file for download if you want to print one out for fitting or using while designing a mount for the hotend.

Too late for me! I printed the smartrap X end for the MK2 yesterday evening. ;)

And tomorrow I will start my tests, finally. I should have the results in a week or two.

You are really on the ball Cristian.
Looking forward to your tests and see if there is any difference between the MK1 and MK2 with what you are doing.]]> regpye Smart_Rap Sat, 29 Nov 2014 04:46:23 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?344,437914,437952#msg-437952 Re: Genie MK2 Hotend https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?344,437914,437952#msg-437952
