Re: Direct Drive extruder

Hello everyone, I know I allready posted this under the another section of the forum, and sorry if a repost annoys some of you, but the project ends in 4 day and I think it would really suck if it failed.

I have seen a bunch of videos with gears slippings... especialy with cheap filament.

I thought this would be an interesting upgrade!

Check out what Arcol.hu has been up to! and pay attention to quality of the teehts in there!: [www.indiegogo.com]

Only 12$ to get on in the fun!

But hurry up theres only 4 days left to sign up!!!

Use that with one of Arcol's upcoming grooved 608 bearing and Im sure we can make the mother of all extruders!

I agree, the indigogo should move forward.

Reguarding the bearing, you can already purchase one off the shelf from vxb.com, they are known as 8mm u groove bearings and run about $12.95/ea.

You may need to modify the idler to accomidate these bearings, they are 11mm wide x 24mm tall. I think 608zz is 7mm wide x 22mm tall.
