As it turns out, the M6 screw holes on the extruder are close enough to the right distance apart to match up with the idler top end printed bracket, so I can use the same M4 screws (with fender washers) to hold the extruder cold end as well as hold the top plate to the idler bracket! Once I saw that bit of luck I gave up all thoughts of mounting the extruder under the bottom frame plate. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/airtripper_extruder_on_top.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/airtripper_extruder_on_top-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"airtripper_extruder_on_top\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/airtripper_extruder_on_top-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/airtripper_extruder_on_top-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/airtripper_extruder_on_top.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After replacing the 1\/8&#8243; plywood temporary base and top frame plates with the final 1\/4&#8243; acrylic , my rostock-mini is working very well!
