#Monolith Toolhead

Now that the grooved idlers are here I wanted to do a quick follow-up with them…

With high flowrates come great responsibilities, one of them is keeping the nozzle hot enough…

As discussed before having these cheap AF hotend blocks and the new design without the MZA allows us to experiment with HF geometries…

Ever since we talked about this with ProtaDec here, I've been on a hunt for the perfect off-the-shelf U-groove bearing with a 3mm ID so that we can get rid of one SLM part…

Aside from the slight delay, I'm pretty impressed by the quality of IN3DTEC's steel parts…

Aside from the temporary MZA availability issue, I think the current BOM is pretty easy to self-source. So it would make sense to improve some aspects of the extruder and the hotend with custom parts for the kit…

This post is about my front rail toolhead journey. It showcases how this particular CAD has evolved over the past year based on what I learned from the community and my mistakes, leading up to the design we're currently developing here. It's not meant to take away anything from other toolhead developers' work, who have made significant advancements in this area that we can all build on…

I will be testing these 4 different hotend blocks under the same conditions:…

Based on my testing with this printed tool it seems like the 21mm OD 6702 (61702) bearing can bring some meaningful increase in grip at a lower rolling resistance compared to the 623…

I'm getting close to finalizing the BOM for the toolhead and ordering the next and improved version…
