This page is under active construction!! Will be updated frequently as more files and information added. The Flex3Drive G5 and supporting files are now available for download. Some of the available downloads include STP file assemblies. The STLs will have been run through Netfab to clean them up ready for printing. The Flex3Drive G5 is designed so that is can be effectively printed by the printerist with either FDM or SLA machines, meaning you only need a hardware kit, thus significantly reducing costs to you by design, whilst plastics including SLS printed parts are offered in the shop should you require them. The main extruder files are provided in two variants, one each for SLA and FDM printing processes. The sections below are grouped as follows:

Main G5 files – Main print files for the G5
Common files (required on each install) – ancillary parts required for each install
Installation files – machine specific printable files

G5

Extruder

These are the main printable files for the Flex3Drive G5. Base Top Cap and Tension Arms. SLA and FDM versions are provided. FDM Print Settings: Layer height – 0.16mm or less Nozzle Diameter – 0.4mm Material – ABS recommended however any material can be used.

Installation Parts

All installation files can be printed with any layer height settings apart from where supports are used, in which case those parts should be printed with reduced layer heights. Check the toolpath in your slicer to ensure there is a single layer between any support structure and the actual part.

Common Parts

Common parts required for each installation are below. These include the motor mount, motor cap, and flex shaft coupler.

Motor Cap STL file – bolts to the E axis motor to support the flex-shaft outer sleeve.
