        <title>Direct Drive Options For Prusa i3?</title>
        <description> Hi everyone
     Sorry if this question has already been asked but i have a prusa i3 with a j-head hotend using 1.75mm abs. Im currently using a bowden setup for the extruder but im having some print issues which i believe is caused, at least in part to the bowden setup, so im wanting to try a new extruder. Since im using 1.75mm filament i dont think i need a geared extruder so im wanting to use direct drive. Does anyone know / use any that are good? there are afew on thingiverse but im not sure which way to jump.

Any suggections would be great

Kind regards

I printed one at it looks to test fit fine on my Makerfarm I3  - I have not tested it yet as I am in the middle of a<br />
bunch of prints for my robotics team.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi, thanks for your reply, i like the look of the makerbot upgrade versions however as the are designed to run on the makerbot im unsure how i would adapt it to fit on the vertical x-axis of my i3, i was also checking out this one [<a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:147705" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.thingiverse.com</a>]   it looks good however im worried that all the weight overhanging at the front may cause issues]]></description>
