Expand the utility of your 3D printer with the M175 V2 Single Extruder Tool Head from LulzBot. The M175 sports a 0.5mm nozzle to be used with 1.75mm diameter filament, giving you a print layer resolution between 0.05-0.5mm, making this an ideal device for users who already own a LulzBot Mini 2, TAZ Pro, or TAZ Workhorse 3D printer. You can print with a wide variety of materials such as nylon, PLA, and carbon fiber, giving you many options when bringing your designs to life. The hot end temperature range can be adjusted between 248 and 554°F for optimal filament compatibility.

The tool head is designed with a quick-release lever, making material changes easier to manage. A thumbscrew tensioner allows you to fine-tune the pressure exerted by the drive gears onto the filament, providing uninterrupted material flow without fear of grinding or slipping. The onboard fan duct mounts use airflow analysis to ensure even 360° part cooling for better printing quality.

Q: 1. Is there any way to buy just the plate that goes in the ball head. It would be nice to have at least two so I don't have to keep switching the plate from my body to my tele-lens.

A: This will be the plate that you need:Oben RP-20 Quick Release PlateB&H # OBRP20 Mfr # RP-20

Q: 2. Is it possible to buy more plates like the one included with this ball head ? Thanks

A: Try the B&H web site and search for Quick Release Plates. I was able to use a plate that came with my MeFoto A1350 RoadTrip tripod. As long as it measures 1.5 wide it should fit the iOptron ball head. The plate from my Manfrotto 055 Magnesium Ball head did not fit since it was 2 wide.

Q: 3. Will this ball head fit a telescope vixen dovetail?

A: No it will not accept a Vixen dove-tail plate

Q: 4. Is the QR clamp replaceable with and Arca type?

A: An Arca type clamp such as the Oben QRA-A2 Quick Release Assembly with QR-10 Plate can be used in place of the quick release clamp on the BA-117: https://bhpho.to/335vBZi

Q: 5. Are Oben ball heads compatible with Magnus TR-13 tripod?

A: Yes they are.

Q: 6. How does this BA-117 head compare with the BZ-217T head that came with my AT-3565 tripod? I really prefer single lever operation.

A: The BZ-217T that is included with your Oben AT-3565 tripod would offer much more control in terms of friction on the ball sphere and an Arca type quick release clamp on top over the BA-117.

Q: 7. I have an Oben monopod that uses an RP-20 release plate and want to purchase an Oben tripod that uses the same release plate. To do this, is my choice of tripods limited to those that specifically use the RP-20 or are some of the other plates, e.g. the RP-10 used in the BA-111, compatible with the RP-20?

A: The RP-20 release plate is different than the RP-10 release plate and is not interchangeable.The RP-20 is only used on the tilt head. There are no Oben tripods that come with a head that uses that plate. You can get just legs and get a head without a quick release and add that specific release.This is a link for just the Oben tripod legs without a head, http://bhpho.to/1nOWTHX. And you have many tripod heads that do not have a release like this one, http://bhpho.to/1mkNCCu.And then a release that works with the RP-20, http://bhpho.to/1npvKNq

Q: 8. Is this any different than a normal ball head? Can I just use one of my regular ball heads with the star tracker?

A: This is like any other ball head with pan and tilt

Q: 9. Will this head work with the oben AT3565 tripod?

A: Yes it will work.

Q: 10. Can you use this one on a Vanguard Tripod like de 243 AV??

A: I have no experience with this tripod
