To make you Ormerod 2 (528.4 and earlier) compatible with the Quick-set nozzle, you will need to update a couple of printed parts. Download and print one each of the
x-carriage and
nozzle-mount. These are already supplied with Ormerod 2 528.5 and later kits.
| The x-carriage is a direct replacement for the original one, it simply has the roller bearing rotated through 90 degrees, and this runs on the underside of the x-axis-plate. Once you have printed the x-carriage, make sure the slot is cleaned out before fitting; this allows adjustment of the angle of the hot end. The order fitting the bearing should be: M3x12mm cap head screw, through the x-carriage printed part, M3 washer, MR93ZZ bearing (9mm diameter), M3 nut. Once fitted on the x-axis, adjust the position of the bearing in the slot to hold the hot end vertically. |
 |
| The nozzle-mount is also a direct replacement for the original. |
 |
| Assemble a second Quick-set nozzle assembly, as per the basic build instructions here. |
 |
| Fit the second nozzle in the second position of the Quick-set hot end. |
 |
| The Huxley Duo is fitted with one Quick-set nozzle and hot end as standard. Assemble a second Quick-set nozzle assembly, as per the basic build instructions here. |
|
| Fit the second nozzle in the second position of the Quick-set hot end. |
|
| The Mendel 3 is fitted with one Quick-set nozzle and hot end as standard. You can add one nozzle to the existing hot end, for a dual colour Mendel 3, or build a second hot end, and populate it with two nozzles, for a Tricolour. |
|
| Assemble one or two more nozzle assemblies (as required), as per the basic build instructions here. |
|
| If you are building a Tricolour, build a second hot end (cooling block, heatsink and fan), as per the basic build instructions here. You can leave off the acrylic fan spacer from the second nozzle, just use shorter screws to mount the fan and heatsink. |
|
| You can fit the second nozzle to the existing hot end, or fit both the second and third nozzles to the new hot end. |
