##Belted Extruder V.4##
The Belted Extruder v4 is a Geared Extruder using a GT2 Belt and Aluminium Pulleys for optiomal accuracy, resolution and power.
The BEv4 is an updated version of my
Belted Extruder V3. The v3 uses larger bearings.
I just published the
Belted Extruder v4 2.85/3mm extruder seperately.
Proven record
I've been using the v3-4 for over a year and it's an extremely reliable design. My first one printed in PLA is still running!
Aside from countless users, I also know of several companies using these for their printer-farms by now, as they are very cheap to deploy and requires close to no maintenance.
What is a Belted Extruder and why is it build using Aluminium Pulleys?
- It is a geared extruder
- It uses 2 aluminium pulleys and a belt to drive the filament drivebit
- Silent running due to belt usage
- Printed gears grinding against each other makes comparatively a lot of noise
- Higher accuracy and longelevity due to aluminium pulleys vs printed
- Design of printed parts to achieve rigidity and stability
- No hard to print gears which degrade and loose accuracy
- All parts used are readily available, so not forcing you to buy key components from me
- It measures 90mm by 52mm. All dimensions shown further down
