Sherpa_Mini-Extruder VS Sherpa-BLOCKhead

I had a microswiss setup before this. I'm sure you can edit the files to be able to mount one, but unfortunately, the MS setup is heavy. What I did for this build is use the toolhead from Clehn8ok's EnderWire conversion, but I edited the extruder mount to be able to use a Sherpa Mini.

I say give it time and see if your mood improves. Otherwise look into the Mini Sherpa (https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Sherpa_Mini-Extruder)

The Sherpa mini is an open source extruder (https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Sherpa_Mini-Extruder) you could print and use with the gear and shaft from a original or clone bmg. It is very lightweight and realiable extruder even with flexible filaments.

Here is the Klipper Config from Annex Engineering for the Sherpa Mini: https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Sherpa_Mini-Extruder/blob/master/Klipper_Config_Block.txt

For anyone that might find this post, it ended being a retraction issue. I am using a Sherpa Mini, and the recommended maximum retraction speed is 30 mm/s, which I had set to 50 mm/s.

In my opinion the Mini AB is terrible. I have the mosquito running with a Sherpa Mini extruder and cowling of my own design. But the mini after sherpa works ok. If you can't find another cowling that works, I could modify mine so it fits the larger mosquito. There are other designs out there like the V0VO

https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Sherpa_Mini-Extruder/blob/master/Klipper_Config_Block.txt for the mini, https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/Sherpa-Extruder/blob/master/Tall_Bowden_Variant/Klipper_Config_Block.txt for the regular Sherpa. Both are in the 0.3A range. So, change the run_current to 0.35 and hold_current to 0.3 and try again.

It’s been a while since my assembly but I think the v0 instructions tell you to cut them flush. I left mine sticking out for adjustments in the future and just edited the CAD of the aftersherpa to give some more space. I quickly abandoned the aftersherpa for my own design, you can try it out here

Here is my toolhead. This is designed to mount on the stock 0.1 gantry. I desigend it for serviceability, so you can remove the fan shrouds and work on the hotend without taking the entire toolhead off. That is my main issue with the Afterburner/stealthburner designs, its very difficult to service.

Take a look at my design here on github . The dragon mount doesn't work right now, I didn't have one while designing. I just got the dragon to test with, so I will fix it soon. It does work with a mosquito.

Mini Sherpa extruder is used with the Mini After Sherpa toolhead which is just a cut down Mini AB body. VOV0 is here I have also heard of the sailfin and OPs orbiter but don't know anything about them. My design is here on github but it it still very early in the design process, I would love some feedback though.
