The Galileo 2 Extruder is Amazing!

We build our first Galileo 2 Extruder and install it on El Dio, our LDO Voron 2.4 R2 3D Printer.

Have you tested flexi filament? I love Cw2 but I felt that it was super finicky when it came to tpu. I had to print a part that had a bore for the ptfe tubing closer to the gear, so teh filament would have less chance to buckle

[@MapleLeafMakers]

We haven't had much of a chance to print any TPU yet but we are very optimistic it will be better then the CW2 because of the constant contact and no backlash. We'll probably do a video on it at some point!

[@ThePhilbox]

Ahhh, no print comparison....I wanna see that harsh overhead lighting ;)

[@alexniko3135]

Very nice assebling guide, but I'm feeling like in circus with clowns because of this background melody.😄 Anyway thank you for the video and I wish your channel growth and success.

[@alexniko3135]

when I received a message from the postal service that the parcel with the extuder was at the post office, the melody from your video started playing in my head it scares me little bit🤣

[@jeffhawkins5582]

Nice. I appreciate the effort of all the content creators here. But there was more good and more correct info here in 5 minutes and 3 seconds than the other hour+ streams on this build. Thanks!

[@MapleLeafMakers]

We try to be concise! Thanks for watching and glad you found it helpful!

[@ifrite3]

if you feel any resistance pull out is good advice

[@robrobsworkshop]

I've put two together, but both with dragon burner and Love them. Haven't tried it in StealthBurner yet!

This is my favorite extruder, I run 3x of these across a few printers. The print quality i get from those is amazing. One important thing to note is that on the first release version the gears are slightly tighter then the recent version. After 750+ print hours my quality dropped. I took the extruder apart and found that my grease has turned black (I used super lube). I degreased the gears, and reapplied new grease and it's back in business. Great video! 🍻

[@GmanL18P]

That's normal. Considering the first release was MJF. So the dust there just mixed with the grease. It's injection molded now so should be good. But always nice to relube after a while of course.

[@QEngineering]

@@GmanL18P @GmanL18P yeah I ran it through a drill then soaked it in IPA and dried it in a dehydrator when I first got it, I figured it would have done the trick. That being said it's still my favorite extruder and I'm super happy with it. 🍻

[@QEngineering]

I've ran both 97A and 95A through it and it prints great. I'm trying to get my hands on softer stuff but it's hard to come by in my neck of the woods.

[@frankdearr2772]

Great topic, thanks 👍

[@SSiXaXiS]

Nice i just got my kit today

[@NielsWullems]

You forgot an important step. When you've meshed all the gears, be sure to rotate it a few times. If it binds at one points, your gears are misaligned and you need to rotate your motor half a teeth.

[@hobbyistnotes]

The Orbiter is an amazing extruder but it has one thing I hate and I consider it to be a flaw: the tension screw have to be removed sometimes to get filament out and I have 2 orbiters were threaded inserts have weared out due to constant screwing and unscrewing of the knob, that is the main reasons why I really like CW2 as it has simple latch which is so much more comfortable to use and whole extruder doesn't cost much.

[@almirantecarvalho]

Great video.

[@MapleLeafMakers]

Thanks!

[@caedis_]

Glad I ordered one to go with a Nitehawk

[@MapleLeafMakers]

Enjoy!

[@miles-vy5wp]

I was putting mine together last night and noted on page 31 of the manual that the bearing retainer screws should be "just above flush". In the video though, you specifically say they should be flysh with the printed part. Was this an undocumented change made to the build process?

[@chese84847530ffhf]

This is great! Will you be coming out with a Nitehawk video at some point? I've got this and that board on order :D

[@MapleLeafMakers]

What would you like to see us do with the Nitehawk board? We currently don't have any plans for it but could probably be convinced!

[@chese84847530ffhf]

@@MapleLeafMakers Maybe just a swap tutorial from the LDO Hartk PCB board to Nighthawk? Mostly from a wiring perspective, but also maybe showcasing how you can use the inbuilt accelerometer?

[@Raytenecks]

IIRC, my LDO 2.4 kit came with an older board for the toolhead and I had to specially print certain parts for CW2 to fit that board in. That and the "beta" status are what's stopping me from buying this... But it's pretty tempting.

[@Juup3D]

Had the same problem, now waiting for nitehawk sb kit to arrive 😅

[@Raytenecks]

​@@Juup3D Oooh, hadn't seen that. I'll have to budget for that as well when this extruder releases.

[@greliusz]

Do you already know when the official full version will be available? Because you provided a link that says it's in beta phase...

[@shigeokageyama0]

It’s released. You can buy kits for this from reputable retailers now

[@Levisgil47]

Hello, I bought it and installed it but experienced a gears skipping problem. I check all the assembly that seems correct and motor alone works normally. It's when I assemble the planetary gears that the skipping issue. Any clue ? Thanks

[@AcidNightx]

Hello, I also bought this kit but what did you use for the can bus cable? I have exactly like you but I can't find the support x)

[@toddzino58]

There are several variants (PG-7, etc. in the GitHub now.)

[@younghillionaire]

I'm having problems with my CWII Thanks to your video i might buy G2 When are you going to make a video about Nitehawk

[@MapleLeafMakers]

Do it! G2 is great. What would you like to see in the Nitehawk video?

[@younghillionaire]

Nitehawk plus G2E with SB as umbilical. As currently no available mounts for the Nitehawk as umbilical

[@absak]

Do you still have a filament latch with this ?

[@MapleLeafMakers]

Not so much a filament latch, but there is a tensioner that moves a tiny bit and allows you to pull out the filament. It's not a flip up style latch though!

[@denissssssssssssss]

Is G2 considered an upgrade over the Bondtech LGX?

[@MapleLeafMakers]

They can be hard to come by right now, but as always, if you aren't having issues I wouldn't go searching for new ones!

[@mickspeedy1]

I thinking about same topic but with lgx lite pro 😅

[@og.StudMuffin]

​@mickspeedy1 Bondtech doesn't let all their secrets out. I own an LGX lite so I am biased, but the LGX likely doesn't suffer from any of the normal problems that older designs could. The gears don't have anywhere to move, the grooves are U shaped to keep the filament centered, and the lighter clamp force with large gears causes less scaring on the filament as its pushed into the extruder (another common issue people claim to have).

[@mynameis______392]

What filament is being used ?

[@MapleLeafMakers]

Almost everything in this video is CF-ABS from 3d Printing Canada. Thanks for watching!

[@mynameis______392]

@@MapleLeafMakers Dope! Also would you guys be releasing a build series or something to help with the formbot micron kits?

[@MapleLeafMakers]

Never say never, but we don't have any plans in the immediate future.

Have you reached out to LDO for a replacement? That's definitely not normal.

[@Anonymoususerhmm]

Echoing another comment. The music adds nothing but a headache. I really don’t understand why the music is louder than the voiceover.

[@AndroidA258]

was expecting more than just a build tutorial

[@foam27]

All these fancy extruder names while bambu labs doing the heavy lifting 😄

[@caedis_]

yeah they are pretty hot right now...

[@lcdconsultant5252]

I came here to see the G2 installed because I can't find anywhere showing the CAN cable attached. I was disappointed you skipped that too.

[@MapleLeafMakers]

G2 is designed for a stock machine, CAN Support is considered a 'user mod'. there are 3 options for CAN included in the 'user_mods' folder of the github repo: github.com/JaredC01/Galileo2/tree/main/user_mods We're using the one from JosAr.

[@justchill4886]

showing mirageC or hevort video is good, BUT U DIDNT TEST THE QUALITY OF EXTRUDER so totally fail

[@Rainerunsinn828]

Argh... This music is really unbearable. I can't watch it to the end.

[@RotaruCosminLeonard]

So what's this? An LDO commercial? You just assembled it and that's it.

[@QEngineering]

Thats maples thing, a quick visual overview of the assembly proccess. For people like me who are highly visual learners it's a great resource to watch before tackling the writen guide.

[@usainuboltu972]

@rotarucosminleonard I totally agree. Video's title looks like a total click bait - if it's so amazing, I want to know why, not how to assemble it! Conversely, for people how want to know how to assemble it, the title is also pretty useless, as it looks like it's a review, not an assembly guide. So far all I've heard about Galileo 2 is all hype. Even the original repo does not explain the rationale behind this...

[@SheepyChris]

I'm starting to see a lot of overlaps from the 3D printing community with the audiophile community - this video reinforces my impression that most new and expensive products being promoted are snake oil and don't really bring any real improvements to printing overall.

[@Duckferd]

@@SheepyChris I don't think you can compare most audiophile products with a $65 kit

[@Duckferd]

@@usainuboltu972 Maybe the video title was different when this comment was published, but nothing about "Voron Mod Showcase: Galileo 2 Extruder" seems to be clickbait, because that's exactly what it was
