JGAurora A5 X-Gantry Extruder holder by DJGummikuh

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The JGAurora has a 90cm Bowden tube.
This is a lot.
This thing enables you to mount your extruder to the side of your printer, allowing you to shorten the tube to about 40cm!
ATTENTION: In order for this to work you have to do a couple of things.
1) Remove the plastic decoration on the right hand side of your printer (the extruder feeds THROUGH this hole).
2) remove the screw holding the metal cover of the gantry (we're reusing it to hold the extruder in place)
3) find an alternative placement for your spool (I removed the spoolholder from the printer and screwed it onto some scrap wood) since the position of the extruder will not allow it to feed properly from the stock spool holder position.
4) remove the zipties holding the extruder cables in place, this cable needs to be able to move up ant down.
5) Check for maximum clearance of the cables. For my printer, the stock cables only allow me to go to about 250mm for Z, so plan some replacement/extension if you plan to use the full z Height of your printer.
Have fun!
