	Robust, uncloggable extruder - after frustration with leading brands, we decided to design our own and succeeded. Not only that, we discovered that our design works great with 3 mm filament, apparently making ours the first extruder in the world that does not use a geardown for 3 mm filament. (We'll be glad to retract this claim if someone indicates otherwise).Fast print speeds with large heater block and large stock nozzle. This is afforded by the stock volcano heater block, and we will be designing a larger heater block in the future so we can print rubber tires and tracks for our open source tractors.

	*Only extruder that works equally well with 1.75 and 3mm filament (except for rubber - we do not recommend our extruder with 1.75 rubber filaments, nor do we recommend using 1.75 mm at all for any flexible filament, as pushing a ''flexible noodle'' will make it bend and it will clog your extruder).		*Only extruder that works equally well with 1.75 and 3mm filament (except for rubber - we do not recommend our extruder with 1.75 rubber filaments, nor do we recommend using 1.75 mm at all for any flexible filament, as pushing a ''flexible noodle'' will make it bend and it will clog your extruder).
	*Low energy usage while producing strong parts. Not using a heat bed may sound backwards, but if most printing is done with PLA (and flexibles in our case), then a heated bed is not necessary as Buildtak works great as an unheated bed surface. So you can print effectively while saving energy.		*Low energy usage while producing strong parts.

	*Great community support - by using ~~widely-available~~ Marlin, RAMPS, Cura, and FreeCAD software - we are benefitting from large user communities for support.
