Solved Chimera/Cyclops vs dual E3Dv6 Hotends

I like it. It's simple easy to print and looks nice. I printed it from clear PETG and put a blue led in each one and the extruder that is active lights up making the gears look awesome.

Did find a cheaper source for the geared steppers and they also carry 8mm bore hobbed gears, so this website is bookmarked incase I need to go that route

I have 2 of their 8mm bore drive gears. 0 issues with them at all. I would suggest geared steppers as well. Lots more options for extruders that way,

 

You aren't helping my bank account jb haha thank you though!

 

Ha. Sorry. Don't worry I have probably close to $1300 in my robo.

 

My way was much cheaper lol those mk8 work amazing and all hardware including motor cost about $29 for both extruders

If i started to tally it all up I'd end up in a ball in the corner. I have one of the very first kickstarter prints (I believe it was one of the first like 10 to go out). The case, x carriage assembly, and main electronics board are the only original stock things still being used haha. I've gone through a number of hot ends and before they released the upgrade for the Y axis I had made up my own which was then swapped out once the kit was in beta.

 

The geared steppers are the way to go like I said. It is expensive at first yes. But them you aren't limited with your extruder setup.

 

BTW I have 2 geared steppers with 6mm drive shafts available for purchase if anyone is interested. http://www.omc-stepperonline.com/ge...ma-17-stepper-motor-17hs130404spg5-p-140.html

I will include 2 Mk7 hobbed drive gears bored out to 6mm with them as well. http://www.ultibots.com/drive-gear-1-75mm-filament/

Asking $60 shipped to US for all.

I swapped mine out for some 8mm drive shaft to fit my bondtechs a bit better. Nothing wrong with these

 

Mike messaging you now.
