Assemblying the Airtripper Bowden Extruder -

Beginning to build the airtripper extruder body modified to accept an M5 4mm pushfit connector and the two mounting holes were sized down to 5mm as well.

Had to reference this site for similar assembly instructions - http://airtripper.com/367/3d-printer-surgery-4-extruder-upgrade-part-3/

It should look just like this one when complete.





When I assembled mine if found a potential issue - seems like my shaft is too short because the small bearing shown in other models is pressed onto the shaft - I just moved the pinch bearing further down the shaft so that it is in line with the lever with bearing to pinch the filament.
Hopefully will work.










Here is a youtube video of how HOPEFULLY it will work - video by the creator - Johann Rocholl
