Hi All, As said in previous posts I am building a RichRap 3DR, I have printed RichRaps extruder which is 1.75mm but my Prusa i3 is 3mm so I am considering using a 3mm extruder on the 3DR. I have had a quick look on ThingiVerse for 3mm bowden extruder and was frankly confusedby the number avalable. So to the questions: 3mm vs 1.75 - Bearing in mind its a bowden setup on a delta printer, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Any recommendations on a 3mm bowden extruder (With a link please :)-D) Thanks Z https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,459338,459338#msg-459338 Sun, 10 May 2026 04:39:00 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,459338,459850#msg-459850 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?178,459338,459850#msg-459850
Anyone else got any thoughts, I will probably order a1.75 mm E3D V6 hot end on Monday, although they are out of stock of the 1.75 mm for a couple of weeks!
