I haven't picked up an Orion just yet (price hasn't updated yet).
But I was wondering, when I get one. I was thinking about printing out my own nozzle mod where the filament comes out.
But creating an open one to pour a material through as the nozzle is moving back and forth..
Will the machine still run its course if the filament feeder isn't attached?
Hope this makes sense. .
Nozzle Mod
Re: Nozzle Mod
I fail to understand your explanation.
Uf there is no filamant it the exstruder the it will just spin empty.
Are you trying put something like a funnel on top of the hotend??

Re: Nozzle Mod
If you where to remove the black piece that the 3 arms are attached to completely and replace it with something you where to make.
Would the machine still move/function normally. Say the piece that is made, is just like the black piece, but it has a reservoir for a material to be poured in, drips out as it prints/follows the motion of the print. What that material might be, I don't know. But just wondering if it can be done to try out other materials that aren't force fed.
Hope that makes more sense..

Re: Nozzle Mod
Yes, it will still work.
Re: Nozzle Mod
You will need to get the dimensions exactly the same.
Or. Measure your creation exactly and enter that in to the firmware.
If it is a funnel, how will you stop the flow?
