Hi all creatr users,
Do you know which type of nozzle and hot end creatr / creatr hs uses ?
Is there any 3rd party or alternative which we can use instead of original ones?
The nozzles, that the leapfrog printers are using have an inside thread, which is very uncommon for hotends. I haven’t found any 3rd party nozzles (or cheaper suppliers) that would work with the Creatr (HS). I myself own a Creatr HS and have designed a new printhead that allows you to mount an e3d Chimera dual extrusion hotend on the printhead. I’ll share the files once I tested everything. The e3d nozzles are available in a much larger variety of sizes and cost way less then the leapfrog ones. The printhead has another major advantage over others and that is, that it has one extrusion motor mounted on the printhead. This means, that you have a dual extrusion printer with one direct drive and one bowden. Two bowden extruders are bad when printing flexible stuff, two direct drive extruders are bad, because you can only print slow and a larger printhead means less build volume. My printhead is just 5mm wider then the original one so you barely loose any build volume! I’ll keep you updated and will make a separated post in TALK once everything is tested. Cheers, Marius Breuer
I think these parts are their own poor design, I am also looking for alternative to use metallic filament but so far no news about from them or other people.
The setup looks awesome indeed! Feel free to share any tips with the community 6 here and some prints too Cheers
It takes 150 Hours to rebuild this CREATR. All Spindles were straightened on a Lathe. The same for the Linear Guides. I want 100% precision, and i have become what i want. The Layers are so smooth and looks very fine.
Sorry for my english…
Would love to apply this modification to my own creatr, seems you had a HS model, right?
The printer in the picture is an normal Creatr
