SAT file format is used by the ACIS CAD kernel. Once upon a time it was an open format, until Dassault Systemes bought it and promptly closed it. If I'm not mistaken, ACIS is the CAD kernel used by Alibre / Geomagic.

If you send me a SAT I can convert it to a STL if that helpsQuote
BackEMF
I see, that's what made me wonder, thanks for clearing that up. FreeCAD is for now the only CAD program that actually works for me, i've tried several ... I'm running 100% on Debian based OSes since Windows pissed me off one time to many and i swore never to go back to it ever again, although that has put me back into the media dark ages for a couple of years..
Now Gimp, Inkscape, and FreeCAD are a relief to me.
But is there a way to convert SAT to anything that FreeCAD can understand while keeping the design parts? Or is it best to forget that and just use the STL files and work my way back from there if i need to make changes? I'd like to have more insight how the designs are put together, i learn a lot from looking around in other peoples designs.
The slow path usually works great. :-)

Thanks regpy
There will be a lot of enhancements as soon as I finish up everything for the first release.
This is the first prototype release of a working version.
Iam keen to make a Bowden setup with the extruder mounted where the filament spool is now so the weight is even less on the arm.
The current version is to make it as easy to operate as possible.

Wath motor do you recommend for this style of extruder ??
I mean amps etc
I also see that you x carriage mount seam to use the nema 17 screw spacing are I right ????
iam intrested in testing it but I have no knowledge of making hobbed bolts
You use 2.5 a nema 17 motors that are 42 mm long on these extruders ??

Whas it yours I ordered thru ebay
Iam going to finish the build assembly videos and then look in to using yours or some type of similar extruder
Iam already getting a lot of questions on motor types etc on my printer when building so have to go thru the mail bag with that also
Iam currently very tired as my temporary work is a lot of overtime but great money for my builds

I have sent you an email Fabrice with the files attached for the extruder and the gears.
I have also added a file for the servo arm that uses a tactile switch instead of a micro switch, I find these to be much better than the micros and also smaller and more accurate for auto bed leveling.
The parcel will contain the hotend and all nozzles ordered, plus all the fittings, a hobbed bolt for the extruder, a pair of springs, a servo arm and a long reach tactile switch.
Will send everything in the same parcel to you, Merry Christmas.
