Product Information

As well, A direct drive system would allow a less-powerful stepper motor to be used, which cuts down on the carriage mass problem. With the filament exposed, the X axis moves back and forth it pulls on the reel, rather than the reel advancing smoothly as the extruder pulls in the filament. Direct drive extruders, on the other hand, by reducing the extruder to hot end distance to the practical minimum, greatly reduce the amount of retraction needed as well as the effect of filament compression and stretching. I have been running it for a fair while and it just never hiccups, it is very reliable and very strong and well worth the money.

One caution if you do get this and that is that it may take some time to tune the printer back to the way it was. I mainly use ASA filament and this upgrade brings a huge improvement in the quality of the print and brings the standard much closer to my other printer which is a Prusa MK3S.There’s the fully assembled carriage, and a small bag containing an extruder motor cable and some tools.

Printing speed and hight or not really a priority for me, I value quality over speed (so the hotend becoming heavier and loosing print speed is not a problem for me). Tip: The installation takes no more than half an hour, and you don't have to make any changes to the firmware in the process!

Easy to Install and use: Switch direct extrusion or bowden extrusion at any time and easy to disassembly.
