Basics

  • An extruder built to better handle flexible materials - front page says 60 ShoreA hardness - [1]. FAQ says 50 ShoreA hardness - [2]
  • It essentially is more sealed than most extruders (so flexible filament doesnt "find the path of least resistance" and spill out the sides), it has a better tentioning system, and it has a brush that constantly cleans off the feeder gears so they don't get covered in filament

Specifications

  • Website says it can go up to 70 mm/sec print speed
  • 1.75 mm version only
