Summary

This extruder is a much improved extruder and X carriage for (pre-Prusa i3) RepRap 3D printers. While you can use each individually, they work best with each other.

  • Easy to thread and change filament. No need to loosen screws!
  • 4 linear bearings for stability and repeatability.
  • 4-screw idler block for high, uniform filament pressure.
  • Thick, heavy design rules and reinforcements throughout.
  • Beefy nut captures for all hex nuts..
  • Direction-indicating drive gear.
  • Attractive and compact.
  • Fits standard Groovemount (Arcol/Makergear/Prusa/E3D) hot ends.

It's easy to assemble, and accepts either a home-made hobbed bolt, or a third-party one, e.g., from here.
