![]() Gap between the filament guide and Bondtech drive gears is about 0.2-0. Improves the extruder lifetime when used with abrasive filaments ![]() Mounting screws inline with the filament exit pathsīetter housing stiffness eliminates flexing during high force pushing Perfectly aligned filament path, and many more small changes to improve mechanical accuracy and design lookįilament path closer to the center to facilitate mounting on delta printers and better mounting Motor position rotated by additional 10 degrees for easier maintenance and assembly New smaller and better PTFE input coupler Mounting screws in line with filament exit path –improved housing stiffness and easier mounting Machined PEEK secondary drive gear sleeve High temperature resistant injected housings - GPA12 Stainless steel filament exit guide (picture below) with 0.2-0.3mm clearance to drive gears for best TPU printing experience and extreme wear resistance when using abrasive filaments New motor design offers ~40% increase in pushing force in real printing conditions and improved acceleration performanceįlipped drive gears –filament path closer to the extruder center for a more balanced design and perfect fit on delta printers Smaller more compact dimensions (11.6% shorter) Genuine Bondtech hardened dual filament drive gears More information about the Orbiter is available here. Since there are so many different printers we are unable to offer printer specific help with installation. Please read the Firmware configuration information and make sure you understand what will need to be done for your specific printer in order to install this extruder. You will need to be familiar with making changes in your firmware to use this extruder. Please read this first: This is not a plug-and-play upgrade. Otherwise, great extruder though.Orbiter V2.0 Extruder with Bondtech Dual Drive Gears Pretty much, I would just use a gcode command to slightly push the filament in and rapidly pull it out while the hotend is hot, or just manually do it. This means if you don’t melt the end of the filament perfectly, I have had some trouble getting filament out. My last thing to note is that it has a VERY tightly constrained metal filament path. The 1.5 if I’m not mistaken uses bmg gears compared to the custom made gears in the 2.0 which are nearly double the size. Now as for the gears, I would HIGHLY recommend the 2.0 over the 1.5. ![]() Only other concern is you definitely don’t want to be conservative with the spring tightness, as too little tension will not grip the filament properly and will shred it. #1, the motor can’t run in stealthchop mode, so if running high speeds and extrusion rates, sometimes it makes a slight buzz, but if you’re standing more than 3-4 feet away, you can’t hear it, and unless you have a crazy quiet printer (like I do) you aren’t even gonna notice it. There’s really only 2 concerns you might have with this. To put it in perspective, the entire assembly with the extruder and stepper is about the size of a BMG extruder without a stepper and weighs about the same as a pancake stepper without an extruder. I knew it was small when I bought it, but I didn’t realize how small. Has plenty of torque and great grip strength.
