I'm using the TGM42 on a custom printhead for a Taig and it works very reliably with ABS (I have not tried PLA).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483471752664961069.post-53266010614012943672010-08-26T08:10:10.866-07:002010-08-26T08:10:10.866-07:00Just got off a killer 2 weeks at work (180 hours i...Just got off a killer 2 weeks at work (180 hours in 11 days).

I just got a good ABS Wade's after melting my PLA one with a hot motor, but now my stepper is skipping steps. I'm about ready to jump ship on the reprap side and try a gearmotor extruder with the makerbot toolchain, and this seems like it would be the extruder to go with.whosawhatsis?https://www.blogger.com/profile/12792264289634575186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483471752664961069.post-76938812204487599852010-08-14T18:34:57.739-07:002010-08-14T18:34:57.739-07:00My extruder,plus the 2 bearings and 9 m3 screws, g...My extruder,plus the 2 bearings and 9 m3 screws, gear motor and hot end will still be lighter than a decent Nema 17 and the wades.
