This interesting extruder just popped up on Thingiverse yesterday:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:409594
It looks beefy enough where I wouldn't be worried about flex, and it uses a geared stepper motor which IMO is the only way to go.
The design needs mounting ears for attaching to T-slot, and the release lever needs to be extended on the right so that one can get a finger on it to open the lever for filament changes. Good base for a new design, though.....

I got one complain about it: a missing filament quick release.
But I do no miss it personally. When changing filament I need to heat up hot end anyway and when printer is powerd up I can just use Reverse/Extrude to change the filament. I never needed to release the clamp for a filament change. When a new filament is inserted from the bottom then Extrude will nicely pull it in.

I definitely like the idea of a quick release, not that I really have a reason to swap filaments...only have the one roll. Though I wonder if heating up my hot end would help with loading filament. Or is it just for removing your filament?
