3D Printer Direct-drive Extruder

Here is my attempt at designing an extruder which is compact and works with flexible materials as well as common 3D printing materials. The design is available at www.thingiverse...

Excuse my ignorance, but how to fix the motor/extruder in the x-carriage ????

Great! thanks for the info, stupid KZbin goes to the share menu after the video is done so I didn't see the link. I have the E3D 1.75mm hotend on order and was looking for an extruder for it. Building an i3 so this will be printing today. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.

Hi! The extruder is my own design and the hot-end is an E3D all metal hot-end. All the details on the extruder and fan can be found on the Thingiverse page, the link is in the video description. The hot-end fan is the one that came with it and the cooling fan is a 5015S 12V 50x15mm centrifugal fan. Cheers!

what are the specific screw lengths you used?

[@usamaasif8366]

how stepper motor is mounted on X- carriage?

[@p40whk]

What extruder / fan set up are you using there?

What I don't get is, how do you attach the e3d to the extruder? I thought that the extruder can only be used with bowden system

+Francisco Fernandez Universal can be a Bowden or Direct (it includes both).
