Hey guys,
So my stock extruder on my t300 broke in half while transporting it. I placed ann order for a new toolhead with Sovol a week and half ago and it still hasn’t even shipped yet. I’m likely not going to be getting it anytime soon so I’ve been playing around with different extruders and hot ends and boy am I having a hell of a time getting things to work nicely with the stock T 300 breakout board And configuration.
Ultimately, I would like to have a tool head that can work high temps up to 500° and work with some nylon and carbon fiber filaments. I’ve been looking at the E3 D Revo and H2O water cooled system extruders but these both run the Nema square stepper, and they use a Different power supply that I’m not certain that the T300 can’t even handle without frying the motherboard or something.
So either I need a tool head option that uses a pancake stepper and that people have had success using or I need recommendations for a tool head that used a square style stepper, like the NEMA17 or 14 along with recommendations for a breakout board or can bus board that will work with my stock T 300 and klipper.
I’m really getting the itch and would like to order this new Toolhead tonight and will likely be using Amazon to order up my parts or eBay possibly. If anybody can help me out with something that will be a lot more plug-in play with the BOM list I need to get everything hooked up properly would be a huge help. If you guys have upgraded or swapped your toolhead for something bigger and better please don’t hesitate to share with me what you chose and your experience so far with it and if you recommend I do the same. I’m even open to swapping out my T 300 motherboard for an upgraded more capable board that would allow me more options than what I’m stuck with currently. There’s just very little information about successful upgrades on this printer other than Gergo’s videos (which I’ve done his complete z axis upgrades to my printer and it’s helped a lot).
Time is of the essence so shoot me some recommendations ASAP please! thank you guys!
