Smartrap Parts question
August 10, 2014 09:25AM
Hi guys im finishing up my parts list to build my smartrap. There are however, three parts that I do not know where to get.

1) Gear for extruder to push filament into the bowden tube.

2) Z axis threaded rod (that can print at 100 or so micron level).

3) Bowden tube connector (the one that has the tube just slide in and is threaded on one end)

I really want to get all parts on ebay if possible.

Thanks,
Griffin

The theaded rod can be a 5/16-24 rod from home depot.

The connector you can get from Flebay
4mm push connector

Did you already buy the printed parts?

Ok thanks I'll go but the threaded rod there.

No I have not bought printed parts yet. Still trying to find some aside from the makercoast ones becuase they seem a little too expensive at $30.

$30 is really not that expensive. You might be able to get them to print you Reg's extruder too.

Someone had published a BOM with links to buy the parts:
[docs.google.com]
Not the best prices you can get but it might help to know what to look for.
