Details
The EZStruder is a compact and versatile Cold End direct drive by SeeMeCNC. A design by PartDaddy & John Oly of SeeMeCNC. The EZStruder Cold End is manufactured by classic thermoplastic injection molding and CNC machining processes. The design is based on other RepRap style drives, including "Minimalistic Mk8 replacement" by whosawhatis, 10-JAN-2012, Thingiverse. The spring and filament are caged between the drive lever and motor mounting plate, where as many previous designs pass the filament through the lever. Development advice and credits to Shane Graber and Brian VanDiepenbos.
The EZStruder will work with any RepRap groove-mount style Hot End and Prusa Hot Ends. PartDaddy designed the EZStruder groove based on the popular J Head Hot End specifications [[2]]. PartDaddy further designed the Cold End parts to be compatible with 1.75 or 3mm filament. The included bowden cable adapter is tapped M5 x .8 thread to accept a 4mm tube OD push to connect fitting.
