Well, imho there is no perfect extruder that can be used with *any* kind of filament, otherwise we would know about it.

Ive not found anything in my testing, 1.75 or 3mm that the Flex3Drive cant handle, common and exotics and flexibles all run fine. (sorry i dont mean this to sound like blatant advertising), but just bringing awareness of this given your post above.

Sorry, but to be honest I personally could not care less about whether a commercial product claims to be able to handle any kind of filament perfectly, and I do find it disturbing that you manage to slip an advertisement about this commercial product in nearly every single one of your posts.

AndrewBCN: Firstly, the original poster JChicago asked a question, i gave an honest answer, you made a comment about "no perfect extruder" so i proceeded to provide further information and knowledge for the benefit of awareness. I furthermore and equally apologised as I am very much aware of the sensitivity of such "advertising". Had someone else posted that comment, it would not be advertising, however i was providing factual info to a real question.

There are lots of commercial parts in our repraps - most of us don't make our own hotends and nozzles, and who makes their own steppers?

I don't see a problem with Mutley3D raising awareness of his product where appropriate, provided it is done in an appropriate manner. It might be best to add a signature just to make it clear that you are the manufacturer of the product and might have a certain understandable bias

Sorry, any way I try to cut it, I still see most of your posts as advertising. And whether others are OK or not with that, I am not.
If you want to discuss how to make the path from the hobbed bolt or gear to the hotend inlet as short as possible to improve the performance of a direct drive or Greg's Wade's Geared extruder with flexible filaments, I am all for that kind of geeky, technical discussion.
However, any blanket statement that your $170 extruder has managed to push and retract every kind of filament that exists in the world, that just sounds like used car salesman talk to me.

That is true, James (and obvious). But you don't get the manufacturers of hotends, nozzles and steppers posting too often here in this forum either, making any claims about their products.

"... a certain understandable bias..." is a very, very polite way of putting it, really. It makes me realize how blunt I am sometimes... Let me have a cold beer now...

... Thingiverse that has a simple 2-piece direct extruder you print that uses the same hardware from Greg's/Wade's and just adds a MK8 gear...Looks okay, anyone tried it?

Can I take it that in order to print with 1.75 mm filament, I can just install a 1.75 mm J-Head or similar onto the Wades Extruder, and change my software settings? Can a 3 mm Wade's Extruder push 1.75 mm filament reliably, without any other modifications?

I use the E3Dv6 and the bodies of the 3mm and 1.75mm are the same.
