Setting up Bowden
January 15, 2014 06:12PM
In a few weeks, I will be building my first machine, a Gus Simpson, which will use a Bowden extruder.
I will be using either Airtripper's filament drive, or one built for this printer, so that won't be a problem. I don't quite understand how to set up the Ubis hot end with a Bowden tube, though. Does it come with an attachment for the tube? Does Gus have some sort of mount? All of the "Ubis bowden mount" models I have seen are printer-specific.

There is a fairly decent filament drive designed to fit GUS over here.

So in the hub above the ubis is just a short floating section of teflon tubing. The tube between the hub and the filament drive has M4 nuts thread on each end that will let you attach it to the hub with a the BOWDEN NUT (This will keep the floating section of tubing in place.) or to the filament drive by its slot.
