Smart Extruder Side

Replacement Side to Smart Extruder. The original extruder side has a fatal flaw in the clip design. This design fixes that by thinning up the clip so it is more flexible. I have tested this for fit, but not for function yet. If you decide to print this model you will need to think about print orientation. I have printed it in the orientation from the picture above due to the clips not needing to rely on the layer adhesion to not break off. If the model is printed on its flat face the clips may break right off. Material is another thing to consider. I would print the model in ABS if at all possible due to its higher glass transition temperature. PETG may or may not work and PLA will definitely melt. I have recorded temperatures up to 165F (72C). To hopefully minimize this problem I have added cooling fins in the thermally effected area.
Good Luck.
