Top extruder mount

Here's a pic of Steve's test design for a top mounted extruder.

After seeing the Trick Laser version today, I actually like of like the TL version better. *ducks, runs*

I'm concerned about the pressure bowden tube at home on Steve's version and at 0 on the tricklaser. I almost thing the tricklaser version would be better spun around 180 degrees. I also have not seen it in person.

I agree, the tricklaser design looks awesome, but the OCD in me wants the tube to point inwards...

I wonder if the tube interferes with the top plate when you home the machine and that's why it points out...

I saw these in person last night, but I didn't notice this so I didn't ask Brian about it.

I know that Steve ran his version a lot during MF and he appeared happy with it. I'm hoping I can get the cut files for the Trick Laser version so I can cut one for myself to see how it performs.
