Does anyone have experience with both of these extruders in a bowden setup? I'm looking for a geared bowden extruder and these seem to be the best options. I know the Titan is a little cheaper, made mostly of plastic and has a 3:1 gear ratio, whereas the bulldog XL is mostly metal and has a 5:1 gear ratio (but it uses a geared stepper motor) I'm open to other options too. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,723923#msg-723923 Thu, 15 Oct 2026 10:55:48 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724245#msg-724245 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724245#msg-724245
The BullDog XL comes with Bowden tube fittings. I don't recall any Bowden fittings in the Titan package.]]> the_digital_dentist Mechanics Sat, 19 Nov 2016 07:14:22 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724208#msg-724208 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724208#msg-724208 Srek Mechanics Sat, 19 Nov 2016 03:51:50 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724115#msg-724115 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724115#msg-724115 PDBeal Mechanics Fri, 18 Nov 2016 14:07:37 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724061#msg-724061 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,724061#msg-724061 In the long run i replaced it with direct drive extruders since i did not realy need the power.]]> Srek Mechanics Fri, 18 Nov 2016 09:20:09 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,723923#msg-723923 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,723923,723923#msg-723923
