Hi, the subject says it all...
Are there any plans to upgrade the Mendel90 to use 1.75mm filament? From what I've heard, it's the only way to get finer prints and details...
Thanks, Netsrac

I have an option for 1.75mm on a mendel90 using the Ezstruder here:

Your designs look very nice. I would like to try this option. I'm wondering what changes I need to make to the M90 firmware to use the EZStruder? Also, the EZStruder works with 3mm or 1.75mm filament. Do you have experience with both sizes? Does it work equally well with both? Thanks a lot. Garry

technically it works with 3mm but I don't think the standard stepper motor has enough power to drive it. That's why everyone uses the a geared system like Wades for 3mm.

Then I will try to convert a J-Head to 1.75mm as Mogal describes above. So far the closest PTFE tube I can find on eBay is 3mm O.D. and 2mm I.D. Would this be the correct size to use?

check the Jhead website. He normally sells the different PTFE liner sizes. [www.hotends.com]

I would imagine the main reason that makerbot is using 1.75mm is that direct drive extruders aren't strong enough for 3mm. On a bot where the extruder moves in both X and Y the weight / size of the extruder is important so 1.75 is important.

Hi Goopyplastic,
I received the EZStruder I ordered and it looks very nice. I'm wondering what alterations you made to the firmware to make it work with your M90? Did you make any other changes to software related aspects of the M90? I have seen your extruder mounting solution on Thingiverse and it looks very nice.
Thank you and best regards,
Garry
