ctc printer throat and head

[russellbig37]

hi I’m looking for spare throat and 0.4 mm head for my ctc printer with Teflon tube what can I use as the original on is part smooth with a threaded part at the base to screw into the heater block

[wickwire]

Hi, I’m also looking for this, I got a heat nozzle set from ebay but the filament hole is too thin when compared to the one that comes with the printer - the original Teflon tube won’t fit.

I did find teflon tube for sale on ebay as well, but not the matching heat nozzle for the CTC 3D.

Also, the throats listed aren’t the same as the ones in the printer (i.e. smooth cylinder shaped) - the ones on show are mostly screw-types.

Any help on this would be great, thanks!

Hi Russell.

I have some spares including:

1) hot end M6 threaded tube with heat break. I do have some smooth ones too.

2) aluminium block for heater and thermocouple

3) glass fibre insulation for the heated block

4) 0.4mm brass hot extruder end

i don’t have any of the Teflon tubing that goes into the M6 threaded or smooth tube.

you can buy these parts in bulk from Aliexpress or eBay. That’s where I originally bought them from.

best regards

Try uncle Chuck. He’s active on the Google groups, gives excellent service. Chuck is retired marine, located in the southwest U.S. started http://www.unclechucks3dprinterstuff.com Your looking for mk9 stuff for the ctc.

[russellbig37]

will the threaded ones work on the ctc printer?

[adamcooks]

Not without extensive modification. You will need either a genuine menu rep 1 dual cooling bar or a Carl raffle dual bar. Carl’s cooling bar needs the aluminum z carriage also as is wider. Carl’s carriage also needs a closed loop x axis belt.

is there anyone in the uk selling the same stuff bud

[Mylesrbarker]

Hi Russell. I’m in the UK and can sell you the parts you need.

I can send some pics of what I’ve got and you can see whether they are what you need.

best regards.

Hi russell. I’ve got the fibre that is meant for this. Will take a pic later today and send. Rgds m

[russellbig37]

cool thank you bud what else have you got

[Mylesrbarker]

Hi Russell. Please see attached. The ctc bar with hot-end has been used. So has the other hot-end. I can dismantle and sort for you if you need them.

All other parts are new. There are several new:

a4982 bot-steps

hot end blocks

threaded filament tubes

brass extruder ends

hot-end insulation

mechanical endstops

20t gear for x or y axis

I’ve also got a couple of 24v extruder fans and spare parts for the extruder carriage.

i have most of these as spares or leftovers from upgrading the extruder carriage and ends with the Carl raffle upgrades.

thanks. Myles

[russellbig37]

how much for this stuff bud

[Mylesrbarker]

Hi Russell. Parts are for sale. I need to work out a price for you. I’m away at a trade show tomorrow, but hopefully will get a price to you tomorrow evening if that’s ok. I think the most expensive parts are the botsteps, everything else is quite cheap. Best regards Myles

Micro Swiss Online Store I’m replacing my nozzle and throat with this mk10 upgrade so you don’t need a ptfe tube anymore and can print upto 300°c

I ended up buying spare nozzles on ebay, for the MK9 as I have a CTC 3D:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201311328257?\_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The nozzle that came in isn’t even the same size as the ones that came with the printer: not as wide and the filament hole is too thin as well.

Did another buy for these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321796094101?\_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

From the pictures, these seem like the same model, but I’ll let you know once they arrive.

Also, decided to get some PTFE tube http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111513375750?\_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=410506092329&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Once I have everything I’ll let you know how these compare to the original installed parts.

Hi, that is working on a CTC-3D printer?

[iCloud]

Yes they should work on a ctc machine as they work on the replicator 1 and they fit the flashforge mk9 machines and it means you can use mk10 nozzles which are better don’t know how but bigger number = better

Hi russell. Sorry. Been away for a few days. Do you still need the parts? If so, please email me on myles.barker80@gmail.com. best regards. Myles
