Ultimaker Generic HeadMount by mechadense

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

Version 2 is here!
With This single quick release coupling one can attach almost anything to the Ultimakers Printhead.
I'll soon release compatible toolheads for it (2012-04)
Improvements (v2):

two templates included (raw & cylinder)


improved code quality (split in modules) capital lettered modules are meant to be printed or modified by the user


male part redesignd for a better print orientation that yields more stability. Still compatible to (v1)!


added option to close the slot and mount it by screwing not ziptieing for even more stability

slotdepth is now parametric (by taking two measures of your printhead; look for lxy & lxyspace in the malecoupling file)
Features (v1):

generic ... mount any tool you like


"quick" lock ... change the appandages on the fly


ziptie (or threads) only mount & thus non invasive
... the coupling >itself< is removable without disassemblage of the head


lightweight & almost no loss of printing space
... the coupling can stay on the printhead all the time


does not block the thing:
