Extra extruder for Ormerod
February 27, 2014 02:37AM
I'm thinking about adding an extra extruder to my Ormerod.
The end-goal is to be able to print support-material in HIPS and use chemicals to dissolve it.

Does anyone know where to get the small special parts?

I'm still missing specs and sources for the PFTE fittings and the hobbed insert.
The hot-end (nozzle, brass-nut, heater, thermistor and alu-blocks) seems to be available, although I have to do a little more digging.
PFTE-tube, stepper motor, Duet extension board and printed parts are no problem.

If possible, I would of course like to just buy a kit with all-inclusive.
Anyone knows of such a kit that can be used with the Ormerod?

I would be happy to post my findings, when I have something to show.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Carsten

Email RepRapPro, I contacted Sally and bought some spare parts for the hot end. Their webshop often states not available, but you can get accurate info by email.
"support AT reprappro DOT com" or "info AT ........", they are most helpful.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

It looks like emakershop actually has the small parts. I don't know why my Googling didn't come up with this shop.

Otherwise I'll try emailing the reprap support directly.

Best regards,

Carsten
