Zen Drive mod

[valentin svahn]

Hey, I made some light modification on zen drive extruder, and it seem works well ;)

Works perfectly with my black filament, but needs always to enlarge the wheel groove for my white filament.

Let me quote him from the another mailing thread:

Yeah ! I modified the original zen drive and now : it works very perfectly
!!!
I modified it with my Dremel :
1 - I sand down all parts around the wheel (on the master piece)
2 - I have inserted the wheel in my dremel, switch on my dremel and sand
down it with sandpaper
3 - With the same tips, I made a little groove in the wheel which let the
filament run without grinding

[Jens Rapp]

interesting, i thought about sanding in a similar way using my proxxon
to make it a bit thinner, (or should it be smaller?). i'd also enlarge
the wheel bearing a bit and use oil to get it run smoother.. or is this
a bad idea?

[Jonathan Buford]

I'd avoid oil, as it might contaminate your print and cause other issues.

Thats what i'm afraid of. Will you sell spare parts some day or upgrades?
How much can I safely take away from the zen weel?

[Jonathan Buford]

Yes, we are putting an upgrade package together.
