Wanhao i3 extruder plate for flex plastics by gurux13

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is an extruder plate for wanhao i3 duplicator (and probably printers with the same extruder). This plate has much narrower gaps to the feeder gear and to the extruder itself, thus allowing to apply more pressure on flexible filaments.
Works with rigid filaments too, plus it makes it easier to install a new filament.
Printed with PLA at 0.15 height, on i3 itself (with the stock plate). It does not melt or overheat as the extruder metal bar does not get too hot.
You might need to retrace the filament hole with a drill, but for me it printed fine.

Also, uploaded SolidWorks files.
