In my last post I described how I mounted the Orbiter v2.0 to a Kobra Max in a makeshift fashion. This time I show you how the finished mounting looks like.
Previous attempts. The ones in white worked but had the extruder dangle, the black ones failed to be mounted for various reasons.
Find the stl and Freecad file here.
New to 3d printing and I have a Kobra 2. What is an orbiter? And is this something I should look to add to my Kobra 2?
It's an extruder, ie. the part doing the pushing on the filament. Having it close to the hotend has some advantages. If you printer already has the extruder on the print head, this mod does not make sense. If it is mounted on the side of the X-axis, it might be worth it.
I'd nevertheless first get used to your printer as is until you discover the weaknesses that you want to fix.
