  • 1.75 mm filament
  • Adaptable mounting plate to attach it to virtually any 3D printer
  • Very compact high-torque NEMA 11 motor
  • Active ducted fan cooling for high reliability
  • Wade-style hobbed bolt filament transport
  • Wing-nut drive to spread the torque loading on the plastic gears
  • Push-fit hot-end parts - no thread cutting
  • Easily replaced PTFE liner for the hot end
  • A single M3-threaded rod cut to lengths makes all the fixings
  • Lightweight: 330g (about 50% the weight of this extruder)
  • Compact design (110 mm x 90 mm x 80 mm)

I based this design (loosely) on Jstkatz's extruder on Thingiverse, in particular, the idea of using a lever to trap the filament against its drive.
