Hi all,
I'm considering building a MendelMax 1.5 (my first 3D printer build) and looking for a direct-drive extruder and hot-end. I stumbled on
these things or their myriad variations on eBay and was wondering if anyone had tried them. The lack of any gear ratio between the tiny stepper and the filament seems to me like it's asking for trouble.
If doing direct-drive, should I get one of the geared-stepper arrangements, like a MakerGear Plastruder or one of its metal clones?
thanks,
