For users of a Zmorph printer, and who are not satisfied with the design
of the dual pro print head!
Indeed in this print head, we are offered to mix two filaments during printing,
but if you disassemble the head, you will find that there is only one axis for both filaments.
So when one filament moves forward the axis rotates in one direction, and when you move the other filament forward,
the axis turns in the other direction... If you make a 50/50 mixing, both filaments advance, and obviously,
the axis being solicited in both directions of rotation, it does not turn anymore and the filaments are forced to
to rub on this axis, which is moreover made of soft aluminum... See the picture of my machine, at the end
of three months of intensive use with standard filaments... Unacceptable!!!
So I designed these parts to correct this design heresy, designed in standard PLA, it will
just buy bearings of this type:
SHIMANO DAIWA MITCHEL FISHING BALL BEARING CERAMIC MILL SI3N4 & STAINLESS STEEL 4x7x2.5mm
and to buy a stainless steel tube of this type:
EsportsMJJ 4 mm X 3 mm 304 Stainless Steel Capillary Tube Length 250 mm STAINLESS STEEL
I glued a small rectangular stainless steel plate, at the level of the bearings on one side of each piece
to make sure that the bearings and tubes stay in place.
Installed on my zmorph since two months, I can only notice the disappearance of the problems,
the absence of friction, the fluidity, and it even increased the quality of printing of this head

So when one filament advances the axis rotates in one direction, and when we advance the other filament,
the axis turns in the other direction ... If you do a 50/50 mixing, the two filaments advance, and of course,
the axis being stressed in both directions of rotation, it no longer rotates and the filaments are forced
to rub on this axis, which moreover is in soft aluminum ... See the photo of my machine, at the end
three months of intensive use with standard filaments ... Unacceptable !!!
So I designed these parts to correct this design heresy, designed in standard PLA, you
it will be enough to buy bearings of this type:

and buy a stainless steel tube like this:

the absence of friction, the fluidity, and this even increased the print quality of this head
