HEAD ASSEMBLY
The head assembly has been designed for use with a wide range of modeling materials. The head extrudes
model material and support material using liquefiers per
up and down via a drive motor. The liquefier tips are clamped directly between the liquefier heater blocks with
two screws. A single blower fan is mounted above the tip liquefier entrances to cool the incoming material and
the liquefier entrances.
