Re: Which extruder to choose?
Quote3DRapidClone Wow thanks again sheepdog. I'll look into the berrytripper. So many derivatives to look at You're welcome. I would think the 3DR and Accessible Wades would probably be a bit better....

With accessible Wade's, is that directly usable with a Bowden? Its not designed for a pushfit right? Since its my first one, I'm really focusing on being able to get it from a kit since I can't print...

.35 is finicky and .4 is a great size actually. I found the jump between .5 to .4 to be not bad, going down to .35 though, seemed like a big jump. I suspect that dust and things have a much easier...

I see! The 5:1 geared nema stepper is a bit over geared right? So it slows retraction a bit? Seen anyone try to gear it down to 3:1 if that's even necessary? Im hoping an astroyn damper will fit too...
View ArticleRe: Which extruder to choose?
That is the reason I use printed gears. 5:1 (common for geared steppeers) is too much. Your retract speed will be low (probably below 50 mm/s). My opinion is one should have retract speed at least 100...

They are saying that each 608 bearing has twice the surface contact of smaller bearing due to larger diameter, and then there are two of them for a total of 4 times. Now, that would be a correct...

I believe Thingiverse's search is based on tags, so to make your thing show up in search, you'll need to add some tags.

I'll most likely go with Johann's for simplicity and then once I get printing, I'll try out other extruders. Thanks!

It looks like those bearings are pressed against and therefore driven by the toothed drive roller. So that would likely make quite a difference.

Yes, it is less likely to squish the filament (to some extent), however, while you may get higher pressure on the hobb and therefore more grip, like Hazer said, adding surface to an idler does not...
