Three extruders, single nozzle
Three extruders, single nozzle
I'm trying to get a diamond nozzle working with a Kossel 2020 (delta). The firmware it currently has is Marlin.
RAMPS 1.4 has room for two extruders. I added a third extruder using the GRBL / CNC Shield.
This is the wiring: http://reprap.org/wiki/Adding_more_extruders
I tried this firmware that is designed for multiple extruders and single nozzle, but it's not clear to me how to add the third extruder via the daughterboard to the RAMPs.

Has anyone tried doing this? If so, can you post your firmware?

Re: Three extruders, single nozzle
I was able to get it working using this firmware.

Some photos of a fan mount. I'm thinking of doing three 40 mm fans.

The machining on the cold zones looks familiar

Re: Three extruders, single nozzle
Rather than three fans, what about running a fan to blow down between all three, together with some kind of deflection cone/shroud which directs the air across the heatsinks and away from the nozzle?
Re: Three extruders, single nozzle
That's a good idea and that's what the creators of the diamond nozzle recommend.

The hot end platform has a small hole that I don't want to enlarge. If I print another effector with a larger center hole that could work. Also, if a single fan is used, it must be high CFM such as Delta AUC0512DB.

Thanks, but i'm using the cheap e3d clone heatsinks that aren't the same size.Renha wrote:Like this one there http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php ... 9&start=25

Re: Three extruders, single nozzle
If you have or could create stl of diamond assembled with your heatsinks, I could try to make needed modifications

The fans are mounted. I need to improve the mount for the servo. The bed is too out of level and the plastic is leaking from the heat breaks
