Public project reveal

NebulaTor

A CN3D-designed upgrade for the BIQU/BTT Nebula Extruder, developed around improved filament handling, sensing, serviceability, and an integrated cutter system.

Files coming soon: documentation is public now, STL files are planned next, and CAD/STEP files will follow only after final validation.

Current BOM Preview

This page lists the confirmed major components from the repository BOM and manual. It is a public preview, not a final shopping guide. Cutter fasteners are intentionally marked pending because the written BOM values and CAD labels still need owner confirmation.

Some component links may be affiliate links. Purchasing through them does not cost you extra and helps support future CN3D open-source development.

The final validated BOM will be published together with the STL release.

Documented Dimensions

The manual lists approximate dimensions of X 55.5 mm, Y 35.4 mm body only / 52.4 mm including lever, and Z 45.6 mm. These should be rechecked against the latest CAD before final release.
