The Salad Fork is based on the Trident scaled down to use 1515 aluminum extrusions for the frame instead of 2020.
Why go to the trouble of a whole new build? Well, Salad Fork features:
- Support for build volumes of 120mm, 160mm or 180mm
- Klicky by default, with Boop as an option
- Flexible toolhead support with a variety of options, with mini-SB as the default
- Fast preheat time compared to full-sized printers, no need to wait an hour preheating
- Optional sensorless homing
- 180mm build size is now available!
- Almost every single part has been tweaked or rebuilt, with a goal for making it easier to build and to fix problematic areas of the original design
- Taller skirts for more room underneath the printer
- Modular display adapter
- Uses the mini-BFI tensioners
- All new panels, new filament feed setup
- A new 230+ page illustrated assembly manual
- Lots of other improvements, too many to keep track of here!
The latest official BOM is available on Google Sheets.
Warning: EU-1515 profiles with a large channel opening are not compatible with this design. Please double-check to make sure you are using extrusions with a smaller approxomately 4mm channel opening
