Would this help?

Yes! I was thinking of suggesting something like that. It's quite clear now.

I have been having extrusion problems lately after about 170 hours of printing on the Vorpal. After cleaning out the nozzle a couple times and even installing a new nozzle without any improvement, I think I've found the problem.

The gold ABS doesn't print very nicely but I didn't expect this..

A sneak peak at the Mini Stealth 2.0

The Mini Stealth 2.0 working file is a lot more organized for now but I still need to bring in all of the supplemental parts and make a few different shroud variations.

Amazing work! So much fun to watch this evolve!

I have read this from the beginning and am amazed. Awesome!

Compared to before, this is an incredibly simple install. I am sorry that I didn't figure out this design earlier.

Innovation always evolves. We start with a very good design and through experience improve this to something better than the original. (That's why there are so many mods out there) Kudos on you for continiously improving on your design. I can only applaud you for what you have done. Looking forward to the final product. 

p.s. You know what you have done ? Bet you just want me to change all 4 mini stealths on my printers to the V2?

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

The main reason I started working on this design was to get easier access to the extruder for maintenance. Annoyance is the new 'mother of invention'.. But with a well working setup there isn't much need to upgrade (except for the improved cooling). Of course there is the bragging rights of having "the newest thing"

I think it looks better than the (official) Stealthburner
