Bondtech extruder 3D for print

I have been involved into 3D printing for the last 2 years and one of the biggest problems are related to the material feeding. Todays extruders that uses one driven wheel with a spring loaded bearing that pushes the filament against the drive wheel.
This method has some disadvantages as
- Low pushing force
- Risk of grinding the filament that leads to a failed print
- Slipping that leads to underextrusion
- Deforming the filament that leads to increased friction in the bowden tube.
The new Bondtech extruder uses 2 drive wheels that are equipped with sharp teeths that grab the filament on both sides wich gives a lot of advantages over the standard extruders. Some of the most important ones are the following.
- Huge pushing power that elliminates the risk of under extrusion, tests have
verified that it is over 9 kg with a 1.75 mm filament.
- Minimal risk for filament grinding
- Possible to go high speed due to the big the pushing power, tests have been
made with 250 mm/s printing with 0.4 mm nozzle and with no filament grinds.
- Possible to go with small nozzles
- High torque Nema17 stepper with a high precison planetary gearbox gives
high resolution and fast retracts.
- Adjustable secondary drive wheel to optimize grip.
- Easy access to drive wheels for cleaning

In a few weeks time I will be able to provide kits with the metal parts and also professional 3D printed SLS parts for the housing components. The current version supports only 1.75 mm filament but a 3.0 mm version are in development.

Martin Bondéus3d model description
A new powerfull extruder for 3D printers with great pushing power and reduced risks for filament grinding. The double drive wheels gives an excellent ...grip of the filament without deforming the filament as with standard spring loaded bearing type extruder.I have been involved into 3D printing for the last 2 years and one of the biggest problems are related to the material feeding. Todays extruders that uses one driven wheel with a spring loaded bearing that pushes the filament against the drive wheel.
