¶ Introduction
The Rat Rig Toolheads are the result of painstaking testing and design iteration to achieve optimal printing performance. With a rigid, light and compact metal body, they use only a few printed parts which are supplied in ABS, to withstand the high temperatures of an enclosed printer. STLs for optional toolboard mounts are also available.
¶ Why Upgrade?
While the EVA 3 toolhead is designed for maximal compatibility with a huge variety of extruders, hot-ends and other accessories, the Rat Rig Toolheads are streamlined to be used specifically with our favourite combination: the Rapido Hotend with the Orbiter extruder.

¶ Printed Parts
- These printed parts are required to upgrade a V-Core 3.1 with the Rat Rig Toolhead V1.0:
- All printed parts are provided in the correct orientation for FDM printing.
- Parts are generally forgiving, but some are large. If you experience drafts or poor bed adhesion, use brims or rafts where necessary.
-
Recommended Print Settings:
-
Perimeters: 4
-

Notes About Holes:
-
When slicing the files, some holes may appear covered.
-
This is intentional to help the slicer create bridges and simplify the printing process.
-
After printing, clear the holes using a screw, screwdriver, Allen key, or matching-size bolt.
